Im craving street style chowmein so badly right now, second trimester ki cravings are real. But scared about the masala and maida. Is it okay sometimes or better avoid?
I would suggest being very careful with street food like chowmein during these precious months. Since I had a loss earlier, I became very protective and avoided outside food completely to prevent infections. If you really crave it, please make a hygienic version at home.
Beta, outside street food is not very clean, so my mother used to make homemade veg noodles for me. That way you can satisfy your craving safely without getting any stomach infection.
Haan, bilkul kha sakte ho but ghar pe banake khao toh best hai. Outside chowmein has ajinomoto and cheap oils which are not good for health na. Thoda craving hai toh clean restaurant se ya ghar pe plain noodles banake enjoy karo.
Dekho, craving ke liye thoda sa kha liya toh koi problem nahi hai. Bas hygiene ka dhyan rakhna aur achi jagah se hi khana. Roadside stall se bilkul mat khana, stomach upset ho gaya toh problem ho jayegi.
Eating a little bit of homemade chowmein is fine, but please avoid outside ones due to MSG and hygiene issues. Also, it's always best to ask your gynac if you have any digestive issues or specific restrictions.
My MIL was totally against outside food, so whenever I craved chowmein, she would boil whole wheat noodles and toss them with fresh veggies at home. It tasted amazing and was totally safe too. Try making it at home, it's much better!
