Delicious meat sliced winter melon soup
In summer, I like to drink winter melon soup. No matter how much you drink, you will never get tired. With a little lean pork, it can bring out the original flavor of pork. The wax gourd has a pleasant fragrance and the soup is not greasy. See how it's done.
How to make it with wax gourd today, and then cut off the skin of wax gourd with a knife. Wax gourd has the therapeutic effects of diuresis, clearing away heat and reducing phlegm, promoting body fluid and detoxification, and losing weight. If there are many people in the family, you can put a little more winter melon, then cut the winter melon into four pieces, remove the flesh inside, then cut into thick slices, and put them in a large bowl.
For the ginger and garlic, finely chop the ginger and scallions into finely chopped scallions. Cut a small piece of ginger into minced ginger and crush the garlic with a knife. Winter melon soup should not be cut into minced garlic and boiled. The garlic is whole so it will be more flavorful. Cut and place on a plate.
Prepare a piece of lean meat, cut it with a knife from the middle, then cut it into thick slices, and put it on the plate after cutting.
Pour a spoonful of lard into the pot, and the lard will be more fragrant when served. When the oil is hot, add lean meat and fry until the meat turns white. The cooking wine removes the fishy smell. Then continue to turn on the fire to fry the cooking wine, then add green onions, ginger, garlic, star anise and stir fry evenly, then add a handful of lovely dried shrimps, stir fry until fragrant. This step is very important. Water needs to be heated. Add hot water to the holes and cook, then add winter squash and cover. Bring to a boil then turn to low heat and simmer for 20 minutes.
Simmer until it turns white in color. Add a handful of vermicelli, season with salt according to personal taste, add a little pepper, cover the pot, and cook the vermicelli until soft.
After the vermicelli becomes soft, add a little sesame oil, chopped green onion, and coriander, and stir evenly with a shovel. The winter melon soup made in this way is delicious. Especially this pork is very fragrant and can bring out the original taste of pork. The winter melon is also very soft and delicious, and the vermicelli absorbs the soup very well. Really not greasy at all.
