In summer, it is the season when winter melon is on the market, and the large winter melon is full of water, can be fried, and can be boiled in soup. And winter melon has the effect of clearing heat, detoxifying, losing weight and reducing fat, and the calories are also low, which is one of my favorite vegetables.

Before sharing with you the method of winter melon meatball soup, the taste is sweet, the meatballs are bombed, and it is very comfortable to drink in the summer. But in fact, in the summer, I prefer to make braised winter melon.
Braised winter melon, also known as "vegetarian braised pork", is said to be the best substitute for meat in the 1950s when people could not afford meat. In one of our downtown restaurants, it is even more featured on the menu as a signature dish, and almost everyone must order it.
Braised pork made of winter melon is enough to be fake and real, with a very similar appearance, soft and sticky taste on the palate, tender and tender, not greasy at all. I prefer this "vegetarian meat" to real braised pork.
In the summer, friends who are afraid of long meat and do not want to eat meat, let's use this "vegetarian braised pork" to relieve their hunger
【Ingredients】:
500g winter melon, 1 teaspoon of sugar
Raw soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce
【Directions】:
1: Peel and remove the winter melon, cut it into pieces and mark the knife flowers on all four sides.
The knife flower is to make the winter melon more flavorful, take a sharp knife to draw lines on all sides, in fact, it is very convenient; but friends who are really afraid of trouble can also not play knife flowers.
2: Heat the oil in a pan and fry the winter melon until it is slightly yellow on all sides.
3: Pull the fried winter melon aside, pour a small spoonful of sugar and sauté to make caramel color.
Friends who can't fry, just fry the sugar until it melts, don't fry the paste.
4: Stir-fry the winter melon and sugar together, add a shovel of raw soy sauce and a small half spatula of old soy sauce and stir-fry evenly.
5: Add a small bowl of water and stir-fry evenly, then cover the lid and simmer for about 2 minutes until the winter melon is ripe.
I like the texture is very soft, you can simmer for a while.
6: After opening the lid, add a little oyster sauce to taste and stir-fry evenly.
7, the soup inside is very flavorful, bibimbap is very delicious.
I like to keep the soup, do not like the soup juice of friends, you can collect more juice on the fire.
Braised winter melon is finished, sprinkled with a little green onion as a garnish and served.
It looks like braised pork, and when I took pictures, my daughter couldn't wait to eat "meat", o (∩_∩) o ha!
It also has the feeling of braised pork, the taste is rich and rich, but it is not greasy at all, the water is tender and tender, and it is very feeling
【Tips】:
Winter melon should be cut into large pieces, and a dozen knife flowers winter melon will be more flavorful.
Adding sugar not only enhances the taste, but the final color of the fried sugar-colored winter melon will also be more translucent. When frying sugar color, pay attention to, if the frying is not good, fry the white sugar can be, do not fry the paste ~
This dish is not difficult overall, and I can't say that my approach is exactly the same as in the restaurant, but if you follow the steps, it must be delicious.
