Our Ancestors Were Right! “Skip Yang-Boosting at Summer Solstice, Waste Efforts All Year Round” – Savor These 3 Nourishing Porridges Now
As the ancient saying goes: “Skip yang-boosting at the summer solstice, waste efforts all year round.” Once the summer solstice passes, the heat grows so intense that even cicadas drone with weariness. Humidity clings to the sweltering air, leaving one feeling drained and lethargic. Yet, paradoxically, this is precisely when the body must quietly accumulate yang energy, laying a foundation for autumn and winter. Neglecting this makes one vulnerable to creeping fatigue and cold deficiency.

The Ultimate Guide to Stir-Fried Amaranth Greens: Skip the Blanching, Avoid Raw Frying! Master the Technique for Tender, Delicious, Nutrient-Packed Results
Red amaranth greens (Amaranthus tricolor) are a true seasonal treasure. Bursting with calcium, iron, Vitamin K, and numerous other vital nutrients, they stand as a nutritional powerhouse among leafy greens – a veritable "honor student" of the vegetable world.

The culprit behind these culinary failures almost always lies in one critical misstep: are you still blanching your amaranth? Or perhaps, washing it and tossing it straight into the wok? In the eyes of seasoned culinary experts, both approaches are critical mistakes leading you down the wrong path!

The Secret to Perfect Stir-Fried Luffa: Skip the Oil First!
At the market, piles of jade-green luffa gourds gleam like sunlit streams in summer, tempting every passerby. Yet this refreshing vegetable often frustrates even seasoned cooks: the moment it hits the wok, its vibrant color fades into a murky gray-brown, drowning in watery juices that wash away its natural sweetness. The luffa becomes a soggy, unappealing mess—a far cry from the crisp delicacy it promised to be. Ironically, the traditional method—adding oil before the luffa—only seals its fate.
