The benefits of Jiangshui dishes are numerous. Consuming them in moderation can help stimulate the appetite, quench thirst, regulate the internal organs, promote urination, and facilitate the excretion of toxins from the body. However, excessive consumption should be avoided as it can lead to diarrhea. For those with gastrointestinal diseases, eating Jiangshui dishes may exacerbate their condition. Prolonged consumption can also affect calcium absorption in the body, leading to calcium deficiency and even osteoporosis.

About Jiangshui Dishes

Jiangshui dishes are a traditional and renowned cuisine with a long history. They are typically made from ingredients such as mustard greens, cabbage, celery, ququ vegetables, radish leaves, and soybean sprouts (other ingredients may also be used, depending on personal preferences or combinations). The vegetables are scalded in boiling water, mixed with a small amount of flour, and then fermented with warm water and yeast. Among them, rapeseed Jiangshui and celery Jiangshui are considered top-grade. Jiangshui has a light white color and a slightly sour taste. When served with a little sugar, it becomes sweet and sour, making it not only delicious but also nutritious and refreshing. If Jiangshui is fried with chili and scallions in oil and added to noodles, it transforms into an authentic Jiangshui noodle dish. Although the basic preparation method is similar in southern Shaanxi and Gansu regions, there may be differences in the ingredients used.
