[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jong-hwa] Steamed dishes that are not fried in oil are gaining attention as a healthy cooking method. This is because public interest in diet and nutrient intake has increased more than ever due to growing concerns about health and immunity.

To properly absorb nutrients, it is important not only to find healthy ingredients but also to consider ‘how to cook’ them. This is because food should be consumed in a way that preserves the nutrients in the ingredients and enhances their absorption in the body. Here, we introduce the healthy cooking method 'Jeungsukbeop' recommended by Oriental medicine doctor Lee Gyeong-je.

Why Pay Attention to ‘Steamed Dishes’ During the Hot Summer When Health is Easily Lost

Dr. Lee appeared on TenMinds (Hanbeon-ae) official YouTube channel and recommended the healthy cooking method 'Jeungsuk (蒸熟)beop,' which enhances the taste and the intrinsic value of ingredients. Jeungsukbeop is a cooking method that steams food, preventing the loss of effective food components and spoilage. Since the ingredients are heated indirectly, the shape of the food does not deform, and nutrient loss is minimized.

According to Dr. Lee, Jeungsukbeop is a steaming cooking method that has existed for thousands of years. It not only tastes good but also brings out the original value of the ingredients. Abalone, which is good for the body, becomes sweeter and more delicious through Jeungsukbeop, and its texture and moisture content improve, making it easier for children and the elderly to absorb. Therefore, Jeungsukbeop is a cooking method suitable for summer when immunity tends to decline, as it allows intake of both nutrients and moisture.

However, Jeungsukbeop takes longer than direct heating methods and uses more fuel accordingly. Standing in front of the fire for a long time during summer can also be exhausting.
