Traditional Confinement Dishes With A Modern Twist!

When we talk about confinement food, a number of classic dishes come to mind, including braised pork trotter in black vinegar, sesame oil chicken, and stir-fried pork intestines with sliced ginger. These dishes are prepared with recipes passed down from generations, and specially prepared to aid new mothers in replenishing their bodies after childbirth. 

It is said that during childbirth, a mother loses most of her energy and strength, and becomes very weak. She then has to ensure that she regains her health by taking extra care and consuming the right foods for at least 28 days after giving birth. This period is known as the confinement period.

What kind of food are mothers traditionally encouraged to consume during their confinement?

Traditionally, a typical confinement food recipe would consist of a few main ingredients namely vinegar, ginger, red dates, angelica root, sesame oil and rice wine. All these ingredients are traditionally believed to come with warming and healing properties that can help to boost the body’s recovery. However, after consuming the same types of dishes for a couple of weeks, some mommies might start to get bored and crave for some other varieties.

So, how does “traditional” confinement food taste like?

Depending on personal food preference, some mothers may not enjoy the taste of traditional Chinese confinement food. Some may find that the taste and smell of vinegar is too strong for their liking, while others may not like the stinging taste of ginger. While consuming the right nutrition is highly important during confinement, the meals you have should also taste appetizing to you to improve your nutrients absorption. 

Nowadays, confinement meals have evolved to be not strictly limited to Chinese dishes like red fermented wine chicken and pork trotters in black vinegar.
