Luffa is now on the market and is the most eaten vegetable. Towel gourd is sliced into soup, fried into strips and cut into hob, but it is often found that towel gourd turns black just before frying, so how to cut it well? Here's how to cut loofah.

The cutting method of towel gourd hob and eggplant hob is the same, so today I will explain it to you with pictures of eggplant hob.

1. Cut the loofah obliquely first, as shown below:

2. Then turn up the volume.

3. Bevel at half of the section (depending on the size of the block to be cut).

4. Turn the last paragraph a little bigger.

5. It's still about half-cut. In this way, everything is constantly turning over, and everything is OK after turning over.

I won't elaborate on the specific steps, as shown in the following figure:

The method of silk reverse slitting;

1. Remove the loofah skin first.

2. Then cut from the middle, and then cut from the middle.

3. Put it upside down on the chopping board so that it won't roll. It's easier to cut, just cut it from the middle and then cut it into thin strips.

Matters needing attention in the correct cutting method of loofah;

1, avoid oxidation when cutting loofah.

There is a lot of vitamin C in loofah, which will react with oxygen in the air after being cut. This is the main reason why the loofah turns black after being cut. In order to reduce this situation, you can cut the loofah, put it in clean water, then take it out and drain it before frying.

My method is to peel the loofah, cut it into large pieces, put it in a big bowl, then sprinkle some salt, grab it evenly and leave it for a while without turning black. Remember, the towel gourd soaked in salt can't be put in the normal amount when it is fried again.

2. Peel the loofah before cutting it.

Usually when cutting loofah, many people don't like peeling. This is not right. The old skin of the outer layer of the loofah should be removed, so that the pulp of the loofah can mature at the same time when fried. If you don't remove the skin of the loofah, after frying the loofah, there is often only one layer of skin left, which is not good at all.

3. Pay attention to your own needs when cutting loofah.

Everyone must pay attention to their own needs when cutting loofah, because different eating methods have different methods. If you want to stir-fry, it is best to remove the skin of the loofah, separate it from the middle, and then cut it into hob blocks. If you want to make soup with loofah, you need to split it in the middle and then cut it into small slices to eat.
