The preservation method of cut wax gourd is to wrap it in plastic wrap and refrigerate it, soak it in rice washing water, paste white paper on the cut surface and smear white wine.

1, wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate.

The cut part of wax gourd will rot if left for a long time. You can wrap the wax gourd with plastic wrap and touch it with your hands to keep it from rotting for 3-5 days. When eating again, it is best to cut a small layer on the cut surface and throw it away.

Step 2 soak in rice washing water

After removing seeds and peeling the wax gourd, cut it into palm-sized pieces, then cut each piece horizontally and vertically without cutting the bottom, soak it in rice washing water for 24 hours, and then change it into cold water and add a little salt to continue soaking. It can be stored for 2-3 days, and the soaked wax gourd will be a little sour and very refreshing.

3. Stick the section with white paper.

If you don't have a refrigerator, you can give it up. Just take a piece of clean white paper the size of a wax gourd segment and stick it on it, then smooth it by hand, so it can be stored for 4 days without deterioration. But be careful to put it in a ventilated place.

Step 4 apply white wine

Dip some white wine with a brush, spread the white wine evenly on the cut surface of wax gourd, and finally wrap it with a layer of plastic wrap. Liquor can play a bactericidal role, and plastic wrap can isolate wax gourd from air contact and most bacteria. Store it in a cool and ventilated place at home. Preserve wax gourd in this way, 15 days will not be bad.
