practice

1. Soak the ribs in clean water for an hour. It is best to change the water in the middle. Then blanch them, wash them, put them in a casserole, add enough clean water, add onion, ginger, a little pepper, star anise and sugar, and stew until cooked.

2. I like to put the stewed ribs together with the soup, wait until they are cool, put them in the refrigerator to let the fat crystallize, and then remove it. This way the rib soup is not greasy.

3. Peel the winter melon and cut it into your favorite shapes. Because my ribs are pre-cooked, cut them into thin slices and mince the green onion, ginger and garlic.

4. Heat the wok, add some cooking oil, and add chopped green onion, ginger and garlic to fry until fragrant

5. Add winter melon and stir fry for a while

6. Add dark soy sauce and continue to stir fry for a while

7. Pour the ribs and the soup into the pot, add a little sugar, and add water as appropriate. Bring to a boil over high heat and then simmer over low heat until the winter melon is cooked.

Wax gourd seeds are rich in vitamin B1, which has the effect of preventing and treating cancer. Wax gourd seeds also contain 8 mineral elements, including potassium, sodium, calcium, iron, zinc, copper, phosphorus and selenium. The potassium content is significantly higher than the sodium content. It is a typical high-potassium and low-sodium vegetable, which is very beneficial for patients with kidney disease, hypertension and edema who need to eat low-sodium food. The element selenium also has multiple functions such as anti-cancer. It contains 8 essential amino acids for the human body except tryptophan, with relatively high levels of glutamate and aspartic acid. It also contains ornithine and y-aminobutyric acid as well as histidine, which is specially needed by children. Wax gourd does not contain fat, and its dietary fiber is as high as 0.8%. It is rich in nutrients and has a reasonable structure. Calculation of the nutritional quality index shows that wax gourd is a high-quality food that is beneficial to health.
