The main difference between loofah and octagonal melon is that the fruit of octagonal melon has longitudinal edges and thick serrations on the leaves, while the loofah fruit is cylindrical, with wavy shallow teeth on the edge of the leaf, and smooth and hairless on both sides. Both have the functions of clearing heat and diuresis, eliminating troubles and thirst, moisturizing the lungs and relieving cough, and reducing swelling and dispelling lumps, so they are very suitable for summer! I can't refuse the plumpness of the old razor clams. My relatives brought me an octagonal melon that I had grown to simmer it in a pot. It was so sweet! Even the soup and meat are all swept up. "

Braised Razor Clams with Octagonal Melon

1. For fresh octagonal melons, remember that the skin must be peeled clean, there should be no green skin, green skin will have a bitter taste.

2. The old razor clams are not easy to clean, so I soaked them in a vegetable and fruit cleaner for five minutes. If you don’t have the family, you can add salt water and then the two iron basins can be turned up and down quickly, which can be cleaned.

3. Put a proper amount of scallion oil in a hot pot, add garlic diced and stir-fry the slightly yellow octagonal melon. Remember not to add salt before the melon is ripe, so as to prevent the octagonal melon from losing water after salting, the taste will not be good! The color is not pretty.

4. The octagonal melon is half-cooked nowadays. Cover the pot and simmer for five minutes! Take the old razor clam meat without shelling as the standard.

5. After opening the lid, adjust the taste, fresh and sweet, don't put it too salty! The pepper can be left or not, depending on personal taste.

6. Good! Out of the pot! Get to the table quickly.
