Why people make these dishes

The winter solstice is nearly here, and as the saying goes, “the solstice is bigger than New Year.” Homemakers prepare a fuller table so the whole family eats happily and feels that warm sense of togetherness. Nourilo shares two of his solstice favorites: bean-curd-stick braised lamb belly, and stuffed chicken wings. Chilled lamb belly and neck are tender cuts that braise beautifully; the bean curd sticks and winter bamboo shoot soak up the savory sauce, keeping the dish flavorful without feeling too greasy.

What studies say about the key ingredients

Traditional use is not the same as clinical proof. Here is the strongest human research we found for each ingredient, limitations included.

  • Ginger · Meta-analysis, 23 studies · 2022
    Overall, acute and delayed nausea and vomiting did not differ significantly between ginger and control groups. A subgroup taking 1 g/day or less for over four days had less acute vomiting (OR 0.30).Limitation: Clinical heterogeneity between trials required subgroup analyses, and the authors state that sufficiently large, high-quality RCTs are still needed.PubMed 36501010 · 3 more ginger studies
  • Garlic · Randomized controlled trial, 120 participants · 2016
    Gamma-delta T and NK cells proliferated better and were more activated than with placebo. The number of illnesses did not differ significantly, but cold and flu severity and missed days were lower.Limitation: Cold and flu outcomes were self-reported in daily diaries, and the dose was a concentrated extract that is not comparable to dietary garlic.PubMed 26764332 · 2 more garlic studies
