The difference between winter melon and other melons is that the flesh is relatively delicate and the juice is abundant, so it has the effect of quenching annoyance and thirst, and is suitable for eating when it is easy to be irritable in autumn and winter.
1. Don't cut the winter melon slices too thickly, otherwise it will take a long time to cook, and it will not be easy to taste after pouring the minced meat.
2. Salt has been added when the minced meat is marinated, and there is no need to add salt when it is finally fried.
3. Don't pour the steamed winter melon juice, use it to fry minced meat, it will be full of sweetness and fragrance of winter melon, and it tastes very good.
