As the old saying goes, "When autumn comes, melons are pretty". In autumn, there are not only white gourd, north melon, cucumber, bitter gourd, elm melon and east melon, but also old cucumbers. When it comes to old cucumbers, you are not a treasure. Old cucumber is actually a ripe cucumber. The fresh yellow skin is usually emerald green, but after a long time of perfection, its color will gradually turn pale yellow. Old cucumber contains protein, glycogen, vitamins, carotene, unsaturated fat, calcium, phosphorus, iron and essential nutrients for the body, which can promote diuresis, clear away heat and fire, and enhance the body's immunity. Old cucumber has a strong ability to relieve summer heat, and is a good food to solve hot weather.

By old cucumber, we mean the cucumber grown in the vine or just picked. Although this cucumber is old, it can still be eaten, but it tastes different. However, if it is harvested, the old cucumber that has become old and yellow due to too long storage time is not suitable for eating. The nutrients in this old cucumber are lost, and it may produce elements that are harmful to our health. Old cucumbers are delicious and cheap, and you can buy a lot for 2 yuan. They are malleable and chewy, which can be said to be a different experience. Especially for boiling soup, the method is simple, and with a little shrimp skin, it is really delicious, warm and nourishing. Let's take a look! Old cucumber sea millet soup

1. The skin of old cucumber is generally thick and very hard, and its taste is not very good. Therefore, before we make it, we must cut off its skin, then remove some parts of the head and tail that are not very good in taste, and then cut it into four and a half horizontally, and remove the yellow pulp in the middle. The yellow pulp will have a strange taste when eaten, so we must remove it and then cut it into pieces. 2. Prepare auxiliary materials in advance: put a handful of shrimp skin into a small plate, add appropriate amount of warm water to soak and reserve, and then prepare appropriate amount of onion and celery. 3. Take the oil out of the pan and pour it into the onion when the oil temperature is 5% hot. Stir-fry the onion and pour it into the old cucumber slices immediately. Stir-fry until the cucumber slices become loose, add the steamed soft shrimp skin, stir well, pour in a proper amount of cold water, and then boil for 3 minutes. 4, 3 minutes gradually seasoning, add a spoonful of salt, add a spoonful of sugar, and then add a proper amount of white pepper, mix well and sprinkle into the Xianglai section, then you can turn off the fire and start the pot.
