Tips

1. Since loofah is relatively cold in nature, stir-frying it with shredded ginger and wolfberry can not only neutralize the coldness of the loofah, but also make the finished dish not too cold. Eating too much will not cause diarrhea.

2. It is not difficult to cook stir-fried loofah, but the heat must be controlled well. After the loofah is slightly soft at the edges, add seasonings and stir-fry until it is well-flavored, then remove from the pan immediately. Otherwise, the loofah will be overcooked, and it will release water, become soft and yellow.

3. Although loofah is a vegetable with extremely high medicinal and nutritional value, it is cold in nature and sweet in taste. Eating too much can cause slippery bowel diarrhea. People with long-term illness, weak spleen and stomach, and indigestion should eat less.
