Bitter gourd can be seen all over China. It can be used as a good summer vegetable and a blind medicine. Bitter gourd tastes sweet and bitter. Mature pulp and aril are mainly used as vegetables, which have the nutritional value of clearing away heat and toxic materials, caring skin, nourishing blood and softening liver, and lowering blood sugar. Eating in summer has the functions of relieving summer heat, relieving fatigue, clearing heart and improving eyesight, which is far more useful than pouring a few bottles of frozen coke!

Do you know the types of bitter gourd?

Did you find that bitter gourd looks different? There are two kinds of bitter gourd: green bitter gourd and white bitter gourd. What friends in the south see is mostly green bitter gourd, while those in the north are mostly white bitter gourd. But don't worry, the nutritional value of the two is similar!

Bitter gourd itself is bitter, but it rarely transmits bitterness to other dishes, so it is also known as "the virtue of a gentleman, the merit of a gentleman." Common dishes include fried meat with cold melon, bitter gourd and pork bone soup. In fact, there is also a Hakka specialty that everyone likes to eat-bitter gourd brew.

The "brewing" of Hakka cuisine is everywhere, such as tofu brewing, eggplant brewing, bitter gourd ... Cut the ingredients into sections, dig bags and brew with pork. The flavors of stuffing and utensils blend together in cooking, and many flavors collide back and forth in the mouth, endlessly!

How to make Hakka food bitter gourd brew?

Chop pork into stuffing, add ginger slices, garlic, eggs, salt and starch and stir well.

Wash bitter gourd and cut into small pieces. Empty the middle pulp with a spoon and soak the meat into bitter gourd pieces.

Put the soaked bitter gourd in a pot and steam 15 to 20 minutes. If you like bitter gourd, you can steam it for a long time. Stir-fry garlic, rice and carrots with water in a wok, pour half a bowl of starch water, add a little soy sauce and salt to taste and boil, and then pour it on the surface of bitter gourd.

The steamed bitter gourd brewed in this way is salty, crisp and tender, light and refreshing, with attractive aroma and slightly bitter and fresh fragrance. The most important thing is to clear away heat and detoxify, which is really a "cool" thing in hot summer!
