Negligence in hygiene management during cooling process
Cool hot food quickly after cooking
Refrigerate or freeze to prevent the growth of food poisoning bacteria
The season of kongguksu and naengmyeon has returned. Cold foods help relieve the summer heat, but they can spoil quickly, so caution is required. Let’s learn more about how to manage summer foods that are vulnerable to food poisoning bacteria.
According to the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, cold noodles such as kongguksu and naengmyeon that are eaten cold after cooking should be cooled quickly and stored in the refrigerator or freezer. Kongguksu and naengmyeon are vulnerable to food poisoning bacteria such as E. coli, Staphylococcus aureus, and salmonella.
The main cause of contamination of cold food is ‘negligence of hygiene management’ during the cooling process. Hot food after cooking, such as cold noodle broth and soybean soup, should be cooled quickly and stored in the refrigerator or freezer.
It is good to divide it into small units and put it in a metal container or put it in a container filled with ice and cool it by stirring it with a stick. Using a rapid chiller is also a method.
Kongguksu requires a lot of work to make, and the bean water is rich in protein, making it easy for food poisoning bacteria to increase. Food poisoning bacteria can increase 100-fold in 2-3 hours at 35 degrees Celsius, and 10,000-fold in 4-7 hours.
Therefore, it is safe to eat kongguksu immediately after cooking. Cooked food should not be left at room temperature for more than 2 hours.
Soybeans are a plant-based protein food called ‘meat from the field’. They are rich in nutrients such as calcium, iron, and magnesium, and help to replenish stamina and relieve fatigue. Soybean water is made by boiling soybeans, so it is richer in nutrients. In particular, the isoflavone component of soybeans promotes the division and destruction of cancer cells.
The efficacy of soybeans is also mentioned in the Donguibogam. Since soybeans are effective in relieving stress, eating food made with soybeans when you are stressed can have a calming effect that calms your mind.
However, soybeans contain trypsin inhibitors and hemagglutinin, substances that interfere with digestion. Therefore, they have the disadvantage of being difficult to digest, but soybean water makes up for this. Even people with weak digestive systems can eat soybean water without any problems. Soybean noodles are created when soybean water meets wheat flour. Also, soybean noodles have almost no vitamin C, so it is good to eat them with vegetables such as cucumbers.
A typical serving of kongguksu contains 500 kcal. If you want to consume fewer calories than this while dieting, you can use buckwheat noodles instead of wheat flour noodles.
