Have you been to Zhejiang before? A few years ago, I happened to go to Zhejiang. Besides sightseeing, the most important thing is to taste the local food. Speaking of this Zhejiang dish, I was really impressed by several things. Zhejiang cuisine is one of the eight traditional cuisines in China with a long history.

In my memory, I only remember a few classic Zhejiang dishes, namely West Lake vinegar fish, braised bamboo shoots, flower girl chicken and winter melon soup. Because of the long interval, I remember that there are not many classic dishes in Zhejiang. Among these classic Zhejiang famous dishes, I especially like to drink dry rice and winter melon soup. I like it.

This seaweed and winter melon soup is a traditional dish in Zhejiang. It's delicious, but it doesn't taste like dried seaweed and it's not greasy. It is very light and refreshing. It's really suitable for summer. But it is not easy to make this delicious shrimp skin and winter melon soup. First, you must choose the main components.

First of all, we must buy fresh dried shrimps, also called dried shrimps. We should choose those shrimps with bright, transparent and yellow surfaces, so that the shrimps are fresh and have no peculiar smell. If the store allows, we can pick a piece of dried seaweed and chew it in our mouth first. If it feels delicious, it should be fresh dried seaweed.

Why did you choose such fresh seaweed? Because the fresh dried seaweed has high nutritional value, contains more trace elements such as calcium and phosphorus, and is rich in protein which can promote the development of human bones.

After the dry rice is selected, it is necessary to choose fresh wax gourd. The nutritional value of wax gourd is also very high. Wax gourd has the functions of diuresis, clearing away heat, eliminating phlegm and quenching thirst. Pregnant women often eat wax gourd can effectively prevent fetal diseases. If the wax gourd is cooked together with the skin, the effect of clearing heat and relieving summer heat will be more obvious.

Because of the high temperature and sultry summer, people are prone to heatstroke, so people should drink more winter melon soup in summer, which is beneficial to clearing away lung heat and toxic materials, diuresis and dehumidification, lowering blood pressure and blood lipid, and thus achieving the purpose of beauty beauty and good health.

Detailed method of dry rice and winter melon soup

Having said that, some friends will ask, how is the dry rice and winter melon soup made? Now I'll share the production steps with you.

Step 1: Wash the dried seaweed with warm water for later use, and wash, peel and cut the wax gourd for later use.

Step 2: add water to the pot and heat it, blanch the wax gourd slices to soften them, and then let them cool for later use.

Step 3: put the right amount of oil in the pot, add onion and ginger until fragrant, and then add the washed dried seaweed and stir fry.

Step 4: Pour in some hot water, stew for a while, and then add some salt and pepper to taste.

Step 5: Pour in the chopped wax gourd and cook until the wax gourd slices are transparent and soft. Add some coriander to taste before cooking. Is it easy to operate? You can see it at first sight, and friends you like can go home and try it.

Although the operation of this soup is very simple, we should pay attention to the following points if we want to make the soup delicious.

First of all, the blanching time of wax gourd slices should not be too long, otherwise the nutrients in wax gourd will be lost, just blanching for a few seconds.

Secondly, don't add too much salt and pepper, just a little bit, because dried seaweed itself has a salty taste. If the seasoning is added too much, it will mask the delicate flavor of dried seaweed itself. In this way, the finally made seaweed and winter melon soup tastes delicious and pure.

In addition, people with cold body and weak spleen and stomach had better eat less dried seaweed and drink more soup.
