When frying loofah, the loofah will turn black, because the loofah will be cut into pieces when cleaning it. The loofah will be oxidized when it comes into contact with the air and react with the iron in the pot, so it will turn black when frying. You can soak the loofah 10 minute with salt water before frying, which can effectively prevent it from turning black when frying.
Matters needing attention in purchasing loofah
1, look at the shape. Good loofah is uniform in shape and thickness, so it is usually fresh and tender, and the loofah with a big belly tastes old.
2, by hand. When buying a loofah, you need to pinch the surface of the loofah with your hands. The feel of the loofah is very strong, which means that the loofah is fresh, while the loofah has a soft feel and has been left for too long.
