Features: Hosting a dinner party at home has many benefits. You are not restricted by the restaurant's operating hours; everyone can be more relaxed, comfortable, and unrestrained. Additionally, you can eat better and more safely. There's also an important point: the food cost at restaurants is usually only about 30% of the price. Now, by selecting fresh ingredients yourself to cook, you can create your favorite flavors while also being economical. The part that requires more effort before hosting is planning the menu, but it's actually not very difficult. Basically, as long as you follow three "non-repetition" principles, it's fine. These are: the main ingredients, cooking methods, and flavors should all be diverse. Main ingredients can be chosen from poultry, livestock, various seafood (including shrimp, crabs, shellfish, fresh squid), fish, eggs, tofu, and vegetables. Then, using different cooking methods like frying, boiling, stir-frying, deep-frying, steaming, braising, roasting, and grilling, and pairing them with various flavors like sweet and sour, curry, spicy, braised, tomato sauce, and mustard, you can create a great menu!
