Winter melon, watermelon, pumpkin, why not pumpkin?

In fact, it is pumpkin. We often eat it. We all know that there are winter melon, watermelon and pumpkin in the world, but we have never heard of pumpkin!

So why no pumpkin?

When I was a child, I often thought about this question. When I asked adults, they didn’t know.

Now I finally know that there are actually pumpkins, but in many places they don’t have such names. We all call them zucchini, Japanese melon or white melon.

Zucchini is North Melon. I believe many people are surprised. We often eat zucchini and never knew that it also has a name called North Melon.

My family eats zucchini a lot. It goes perfectly with scrambled eggs. It’s refreshing and delicious, especially with rice.

Moreover, zucchini has high nutritional value and its calcium content is extremely high. Every 100g of edible part contains 22-29mg of calcium. Therefore, eating more zucchini can supplement calcium and is especially easy to absorb.

Pumpkin is actually a general term. It includes three types: zucchini, Japanese melon and long pumpkin. Different places have different names.

In the eyes of southerners, a round pumpkin is a pumpkin, and a long pumpkin is called a pumpkin in some places.

Zucchini is not big in size, and one can be stir-fried on a plate. It only costs a few yuan to stir-fry a plate. It is very nutritious and is a good-quality and inexpensive dish.

Slice the zucchini, then shred it, then stir-fry it with eggs. It’s a very simple dish, but it’s really delicious.

I like to shred it. Personally I think it tastes more delicious after being shredded. Of course, if you like to slice it, that’s fine too!

Ingredients for zucchini scrambled eggs: 1 zucchini, 2 eggs, a little salt, an appropriate amount of chicken essence, and an appropriate amount of cooking oil.

Method: In the first step, wash the zucchini, cut it into thin slices, and then shred it for later use. You don’t need to cut it too finely.

In the second step, stir the eggs, add some water and mix evenly, heat the oil in a pan, pour the eggs into the pan, stir-fry and set aside.

In the third step, there is no need to clean the pot. Add a little more water, add shredded zucchini and stir-fry until soft, then add eggs and stir-fry together.

Step 4: Stir-fry twice, add salt and chicken essence to taste, stir-fry evenly, immediately turn off the heat and take out the pan, and it is ready to serve.

Tips: 1. There is no need to remove the skin of zucchini. Everyone should know that zucchini skin is actually more nutritious.

2. Learn to add some water when frying eggs, so that the fried eggs will be more tender.

3. Zucchini is easy to cook. Stir-fry it twice and it will become soft. The heat should not be too high. Stir-fry it twice and it will be ready.
