Winter melon is more flavorful, half a winter melon, a handful of dried shrimp, home cooking: roasted winter melon with dried shrimp

Roasted winter melon with dried shrimp is a common home-cooked dish. This dish is fairly simple to make, but to make it delicious, you should also pay attention to the following points:

1. Winter melon should be willing to peel more, the part close to the skin is not easy to taste, I generally remove about half a centimeter of thickness;

2. Salt should be left in advance. Many people have a misconception: they think that salt must be put at the end of any dish to be fried. Actually, the salt time depends on the ingredients. Stir-fried winter melon can be "killed" by adding salt in the morning, making the winter melon more flavorful and tasteful;

3. The dried shrimp is used as a side dish here, not as a condiment, so the dried shrimp should be put more. In addition, to let the dried shrimp release the umami, a very important step is to over-oil, and the dried shrimp must be fried in oil;

4. Use lard to add points. Probably influenced by some popular science writers, I personally don't like to stir-fry vegetables with lard, but the exception is roasted winter melon with dried shrimp, and lard can make the taste thicker.

How to cook winter melon with dried shrimp:

1. This is a cut winter melon, about 800 grams, 20 grams of dried dried shrimp, a little chopped green onion and ginger;

2. Heat the lard in the pot, first pour in the dried shrimps, stir-fry the dried shrimps until fragrant, then put the shredded ginger and chopped green onions in and fry until fragrant;

3. Add the winter melon, add salt, soy sauce and stir a few times, and a lot of soup will seep out of the winter melon; You can also add a little vinegar, vinegar can add a little toughness to the winter melon, but it must not be too much, it is not good to eat sour;

4. If you like more broth, you can add some more stock and a little white pepper to taste. Then cover and stuff for 5 minutes; (MSG, chicken essence, etc. are added according to personal preference, I generally do not add)

5. This dish is a relatively simple fast dish, with vegetables and soup, served with scallion pancakes or mixed rice, the taste is first-class, and it can be regarded as one of the most suitable home-cooked dishes to eat in autumn and winter.
