What to eat this summer?

Have you ever noticed that when the weather changes, the food we eat also changes according to the season? In hot weather like this, the desire to drink cold beverages or eat food that helps cool down, is easy to eat, and not too spicy according to the current weather conditions. Choosing the right dishes during the summer can help keep our body from overheating because the food we consume can also regulate our internal temperature. Therefore, for your next meal, we recommend a low-fat, thirst-quenching dish like stir-fried cucumber with egg, as these vegetables have a cooling effect similar to white vegetables like Chinese cabbage. You can try making a clear soup with minced pork and tofu with Chinese cabbage, which is quite suitable, or switch to clear soup with ivy gourd, which has properties to reduce internal heat, relieve fever, and act as a mild laxative.

 

 

Some may think of Khao Chae, a traditional Thai dish that younger generations might not know or have tried. But for those who have tasted it, this dish surely comes to mind during hot weather, evoking nostalgic cravings. In fact, Khao Chae is not easy to find, especially the authentic royal version. Fragrant rice soaked in flower-scented water, smoked with candle smoke, served with various side dishes like fried shrimp paste balls, stuffed chili peppers, or sweet fish, is definitely refreshing. Try to find and enjoy it.

 

 

Cold Desserts Must Come

Grass jelly topped with brown sugar syrup has always been popular. The black, chewy grass jelly served in a bowl of ice, drizzled with syrup or fresh milk and sprinkled with brown sugar, looks even more appetizing. Importantly, it helps cool down, relieve internal heat, quench thirst, and even alleviate colds.

 

 

Vegetable and Fruit Salad

A simple and easy-to-eat menu without heavy fats. Some may choose to eat a cold fruit salad instead of a vegetable salad, which also helps increase freshness. Importantly, the fiber from fruits aids digestion and helps build immunity against colds when body temperature changes.

 

 

Seasonal Fruits

Try choosing seasonal fruits to eat. Chill them before eating, and enjoy them while watching a movie to relax well on hot, lazy days when you don’t want to go out.
