8 Tips For A Healthy Hot Pot

 

Hot pot can be healthy when you choose your ingredients, soup base and plunging sauces carefully. The Department of Endocrinology at Singapore General Hospital (SGH) explains.

“We should have a steamboat!” This is in many cases a clarion call for some festive, heartwarming get-together with family, companions or partners. But is this luxuriously seasoned, a soup-based cauldron of fresh ingredients we call hot pot or steamboat, really great for your body as well?

The response is: Hot pot can unquestionably be healthy, so you pick your ingredients, base soup and dipping sauces cautiously to stay away from an overdose of sodium, saturated fats, and carbohydrates in your meal.

High Sodium Content in Hot Pot
The sodium content in a normal hot pot meal far exceeds the suggested everyday salt intake. Well known hot pot ingredients, for example, fish balls, cuttlefish balls, crab sticks, and meatballs, are undeniably handled food sources high in sodium, educated experts from the Department of Endocrinology , Singapore General Hospital, a member from the SingHealth group.

One can easily eat up to a dozen of these perennial hot pot top choices — fish balls, meatballs, and cuttlefish balls — at a time.

Only five servings every one of fish balls and cuttlefish balls will go through the greater part of your day to day allowance for sodium (2,000mg) and cholesterol (300mg). Furthermore, this does exclude the sodium in the broth!

Be Careful with Saturated Fats in Hot Pot Broth
Hot pot lovers are spoilt for decisions with regards to the broth.

You have the well known Chongqing spicy (mama la) soup, Thai tom yam potato soup, Sichuan hot and spicy soup, Chinese herbal grown pork belly soup, and kombu dashi soup (for Japanese nabe).

The base soup, which as of now contains salt, is made more flavourful by adding slices of marinated pork, chicken, beef and organ meats like liver, pork kidney, beef tripe. Those are high in saturated fats.

Even the chilli paste added to soups is some of the time fried with corn, soybean, olive or canola oil.

Tips for A Healthy Hot Pot
Notice these rules to enjoy in a healthy hot pot meal that doesn’t prompt indigestion, heartburn or constipation:

Select a Light Soup Base for Your Hot Pot
Go for clear or light-enhanced soup, for example, mushroom and cabbage, tofu soup for a healthy hot pot. Buy only low-sodium chicken or vegetable bouillon for soup stock. And avoid drinking the broth.
