Speaking of winter melon, I believe everyone is familiar with it. After all, there are many melons on the market, such as watermelon, pumpkin, winter melon, etc. The taste of different melons is very different when cooked. Compared with other melons, winter melon is larger in size and tastes very delicious. Anyway, the editor will prepare a lot of winter melon at home and store it until this time, so that it can be eaten until a few months later. It takes quite a long time, tastes good, and is popular with many people.

In addition, now is the season when winter melons are on the market in large quantities, so the price of winter melons on the market is also very cheap. You can eat several meals for a few dollars of winter melons. I took advantage of the holiday to go home. This time, my mother took out the winter melons grown at home and prepared them for me to show off her skills. Thinking about it, I still miss the taste of fried winter melons when I was a child. Since I grew up, my parents were rarely at home, so I ate winter melons less often. Basically, I don’t know how to cook outside, but now I plan to learn my mother’s skill of frying winter melon and cook it at home when I get home.

In fact, when we fry food, most of us just put the food directly into the pot and heat it up. However, after watching my mother fry winter melon, I realized that I wanted winter melon. It tastes delicious when fried. You can’t just fry it in oil, but do this step well so that the fried winter melon is soft and tasty and goes well with rice. So below, the editor will share with you the best way to fry winter melon!
