Watermelon, as a summer fruit, is very popular with the public, but today I want to talk about the melon contrary to the west, the (Oriental) winter melon. Winter melon must have been eaten by most people. It not only tastes delicious, but also has high nutritional value. It is rich in vitamins and minerals. Regular consumption of wax gourd can achieve the functions of diuresis, detumescence, clearing heat and relieving summer heat, whitening and beautifying, and there are many practices of wax gourd. Next, I will introduce two delicious and nutritious practices of wax gourd.

The first one, melon sparerib soup: practice, 1, material; Half a catty of wax gourd, half a catty of fresh ribs, one piece of ginger, ten peppers, a handful of chopped green onion, cooking wine.

2. Wash the melon into pieces, remove the seeds, cut into pieces for later use, without peeling, cut the ribs into 5cm long, cut the ginger into pieces, and wash and cut the chopped green onion.

3. Add a proper amount of water and cold water to the pot, pour the ribs into the water to remove the blood, skim off the floating foam, clean the pot, add a little oil, pour the cooked ribs into the oil pan, pour the cooking wine, stir fry for three minutes on medium heat, and stir fry. The purpose of this step is to make the ribs more fragrant and the soup whiter in the later stewing.

4. Take out the fried ribs and put them in the casserole. Put water, pepper and ginger in the pot. After stewing for 40 minutes on medium heat, add the wax gourd. After stewing 10 for more than 0 minutes, add salt and serve. Finally sprinkle with chopped green onion. A delicious winter melon sparerib soup is ready.

Pay attention to several points here. First, you don't need to peel wax gourd. Just wash it. It tastes better with skin. Second, the steps of frying fragrant ribs before stewing can't be less, otherwise the soup is not so fresh; Third, there must be no shortage of peppers. The purpose of adding pepper is to make the soup cooler and fragrant when drinking.

Next, the second method, winter melon and shrimp soup: method, 1, materials: 250g of winter melon, 50g of shrimp, appropriate amount of chicken essence, appropriate amount of salt and appropriate amount of onion.

2. Wash, peel and slice the wax gourd. You can cut it thinner here, peel the shrimp, marinate it in cooking wine for five minutes, and chop the chopped green onion.

3, put the right amount of oil in the pot, add the shrimp and stir fry, then add the melon and stir fry a few times, add hot water and cook for about ten minutes, mainly to see that the melon becomes transparent.

4, add chicken essence, salt, sprinkle with chopped green onion, and a delicious melon and shrimp soup will be ready.
