"Continue our Cantonese food series. In the above made a "Yao Zhu soup stewed with Dongrong", today also take wax gourd said. "Wax gourd" is the best summer vegetables, wax gourd diuretic, detumescence, detoxification, but also to dry, cooling, thirst, but also Runfei, Shengjin, detumescence, alcohol addicted friends and detoxification, in short, wax gourd many benefits, ha ha! Today, we will make another Cantonese dish with wax gourd as the main raw material, which is called "Baihua preserved melon". In Cantonese cuisine, Baihua is called "Baihua Jiao". Baihua Jiao is made from fresh shrimp, cuttlefish and pig fat. I don't know how to mix and make Baihua gum when Cantonese cuisine masters make Baihua gum, but the formula proportion of Baihua gum I make myself is: 300g fresh shrimp meat, 100g cuttlefish meat, 50g pig fat. The production method is: first chop these raw materials, and then smash them into mud repeatedly with the back of the knife. After smashing into mud, beat them repeatedly in the cooking basin to make them stronger After that, add salt, monosodium glutamate, pepper, Shaojiu and a little onion and ginger juice into the "baihuajiao" to make it taste better and stir it evenly. There are too many Cantonese dishes using "baihuajiao". For example, there are a series of meat and vegetable dishes, such as pigeon, chicken, duck, mushroom, fish maw, abalone, palm wing, bean curd, melon ring and so on. It is also divided into steaming, grilling, frying and so on. Today I do this is "Baihua preserved melon", is the preserved wax gourd, ha ha! The main methods are as follows; "

Note: this dish features: beautiful color, fresh and pleasant, delicious taste, moderate salty. Warm tips: 1, wax gourd must be cooked eight mature and then processed, otherwise in the process of steaming, because the steaming time is short, wax gourd will be very hard, steaming for a long time will be old, this dish is a failure! 2. It's better to have half the amount of Baihua gum and wax gourd. If there is too little Baihua gum, it won't taste delicious. This Cantonese dish with a large stir fry spoon is "preserved melon with flowers". It tastes very delicious. Because there is cuttlefish glue in it, it tastes like elastic teeth. It's much better than shrimp balls. Ha ha! For your reference!
