Most people don't like bitter gourd. They always feel that it is too bitter and difficult to eat. In addition, every dish has its characteristics. As a bitter gourd as a "gentleman in the dish", no matter what it matches with, it will not spread its bitter taste to others. It is a true gentleman.
Bitter gourd has the effects of clearing heat and relieving heat, improving eyesight and detoxification, lowering blood pressure and blood lipids, beautifying beauty, and losing weight. The most important point is that bitter melon contains bitter gourd glycosides and bitterness, which can increase appetite, invigorate the spleen and appetite, let you adjust your appetite in the hot summer season, let you eat it, huh, hehe...
Bitter gourd, stir-fry, soup, roast pork, cold dressing are all very good. This summer, lazy elf, just come with a simple sweet and sour bitter gourd, add a little hawthorn cake, sour and sweet, appetizing and refreshing, chilled for 30 minutes before eating, the taste is better...

Tips:
1: When blanching, drip a little cooking oil, the bitter gourd will be greener and the taste will be crunchy.
2: The blanching time should not be too long, about 1 minute, the longer the time, the more vitamin C contained in it will be lost.
3: First marinate with salt, squeeze out the marinated juice before blanching, which can reduce the bitterness.
4: The taste is better after being iced. However, if the gastrointestinal function is relatively poor, it is better to try less.
5: If there is no hawthorn cake, it is okay to leave it alone.
