A low-salt diet is now recommended, and many people find it difficult to adapt at first, feeling that the food is bland and tasteless. In fact, many natural foods are great at enriching the flavor of your dishes:
For example, use ingredients like vinegar, lemon, apple, pineapple, tomato, kiwi, and citrus fruits to add acidity to your dishes; use cilantro, Thai basil, celery, shiitake mushrooms, green peppers, onions, and scallions, ginger, and garlic to bring out the umami of the food.
Alternatively, you can also use Chinese medicinal herbs and spices to season your food. Angelica, goji berries, lovage, jujubes, cinnamon, star anise, and Sichuan peppercorns are all excellent seasonings.
