Can wax gourd be eaten when it is frozen?
We know that a large part of wax gourd belongs to water, followed by some common ingredients such as protein and vitamins, so even if wax gourd is frozen, it will not go bad, so we can continue to eat the frozen wax gourd.
Many people will have this question, that is, is there any difference between frozen wax gourd and fresh wax gourd? In fact, there are still some, the main difference is the taste. Because the degree of taste of the wax gourd itself is not high, and after freezing, the original supporting tissue has changed and become easily broken, so the frozen wax gourd will taste a little bit rough, and then the water will lose to some extent.
Therefore, we don't recommend that you stir-fry the frozen wax gourd, because the fried wax gourd is not as delicious as the original fresh wax gourd because of the loss of water. But the frozen wax gourd is not useless. We can bring the frozen wax gourd to braise in soy sauce. Especially if it is stewed with meat, because after freezing, some changes have taken place in the wax gourd tissue, and the taste in the broth is easier to enter the inside of the wax gourd. In this case, the burnt wax gourd tastes better.
Therefore, in the future, if you buy winter melon and accidentally freeze it, you can try braising it in soy sauce or stewing it with meat. The taste is very good, which is better and more delicious than direct stewing of fresh winter melon.
