Many people bring Bento when they work or go to school. Do you know what dishes are suitable for Bento? Let's give you a detailed description of what dishes you can bring Bento!
What dish is suitable for Bento
Leafy vegetables, especially dark green vegetables, are not suitable for rice. The nitrate content of leafy vegetables is too high, which is easy to turn into nitrite and change color. The taste is bad after secondary heating, and the vitamin loss is particularly large. You can choose some, such as eggplant, white gourd, potato, carrot, cauliflower, zucchini, mushroom, etc., which are very heat resistant, It's not a big problem to heat it two or three times. Because green leafy vegetables have high nutritional value, they must be eaten every day. You can consider supplementing them when you go home at night. In this way, the amount of vegetables is enough and the safety is improved
In the unit, the boxed lunch should be placed in a cool place. It can be placed on the balcony in winter. If there is a refrigerator, it should be placed in the refrigerator immediately. Before eating, do not open the cover and turn it over. Before eating, heat it through with a microwave oven or steamer, especially when there is no refrigerator. For the boxed lunch that has not been eaten, do not take it home except water and fruit, because after turning over and placing it at room temperature for too long, It's already very unsafe
In addition, I would also like to advise you not to open the box when bringing food, so as to avoid the bacteria in the air falling into it to the greatest extent. If it is less, the speed of bacterial reproduction will be slow and the safety will be improved. When the leftovers are heated again, they must be heated to more than 70 degrees. What is food heated thoroughly? For meat, it usually means that the central temperature reaches more than 72 degrees. If it is heated in a microwave oven, it should reach more than 60 degrees. Because the microwave itself has the function of sterilization, it can ensure the safety of taking rice without so hot
How to heat overnight dishes? Can overnight dishes still be eaten
How to eat overnight meals to be healthy
Overnight meals should be thoroughly heated
It is OK to put leftovers into the second meal, but they must be heated thoroughly. The so-called thorough heating is to heat the whole dish to 100 degrees and keep it boiling for more than 3 minutes
Meat heating: if the meat is large, be sure to cook and steam for a long time, or chop the meat and reheat it
It is a good way to heat leftover food in the microwave oven. It can fully heat the food inside. However, in families, the time of microwave heating is often not well controlled, and it is easy to cause the trouble of food splashing into the microwave oven. You can consider heating the food in the microwave oven for one or two minutes to raise the internal temperature of the food, and then heating it in a pot, or steaming it in a steamer, It's easier to heat through. Leftovers that don't want too much soup can be heated by steaming or frying
Heating of bean products: compared with meat, bean products are more prone to decay, so you should pay more attention to heating. It's no pity to cook for a few more minutes, because the vitamin content in tofu is very low, and its rich protein, calcium and magnesium are not afraid of heat. Heating will not significantly reduce the nutritional value
Vegetable heating: vegetables are not suitable for long-term heating. Steamer can be considered. The heat transfer effect is better than direct heating with pot, and the loss of nutrients is less
Special reminder: it should be highly noted that the dishes should not be heated repeatedly. If you know that you can't finish the second meal of fish, only heat half, and the rest is still put back into the refrigerator. Even some cooked food and bean products can be directly frozen into the freezer in small boxes

Notes on making Bento
Pay attention to rice (rice balls)
The first is rice balls. You can hold them with salt and water, vinegar and salt, or wrap them with plastic wrap. The preservation of the above three methods of holding rice balls was investigated
If the number of bacteria exceeds 100000, you'd better not eat it. Vinegar and salt have bactericidal effect, but don't expect to be pasted on your hands when holding rice balls. Wrapping rice balls with fresh-keeping film without hand contact is the best way to ensure that they are not contaminated with bacteria. This method won't stick rice to your hands, and even if it's hot rice, you can easily pad a dry dish cloth between your hands and fresh-keeping film
Side dishes need attention
Next comes the side dishes. In order to sterilize, it is basic to use fully heated things. It is best if the food prepared the night before and the frozen food can be reheated in the morning, but the cooking can't be reheated
Therefore, the boiled broccoli was compared under the following preservation conditions. One was to cook the broccoli the night before and then put it into the refrigerator. The other was to cook it the same day. When the broccoli prepared the night before was taken out of the refrigerator (before preservation), it was almost the same as the number of bacteria cooked that day, but the number of bacteria increased during preservation and could hardly be eaten after 6 hours
