Turtle has the effect of nourishing yin and reducing fire, while cow vigorously nourishes the lungs, relaxes muscles and activates collaterals, and tufuling removes dampness and detoxifies. The three are combined to make soup, which complement each other. It is actually an ideal summer heat-removing and dampness-removing soup, which is popular among Guangdong people.

Every sweltering summer, I make this soup.

Bitter melon, also called cold melon in our hometown, contains bitter elements and bitter melon glycosides (the same as sweet), which can strengthen the spleen, whet the appetite, and increase appetite.

If the melon is bitter, you can cut it into thin transparent slices, soak it in salt water to remove some of the bitterness, and then fry it with eggs, one yellow and one green, which looks very appetizing.

Now let’s see how to do it.
