Gourd is not a pumpkin. Gourd flesh will naturally form crystal clear yellow filaments after stirring. It is also called "golden gourd". The golden gourd silk is tender and fragrant after being boiled or frozen. It is crispy and refreshing with flavor. Unique, known as "plant jellyfish", it is a delicacy with complete "color, fragrance, taste and shape". At the hotel banquet, there is also mixed with jellyfish shreds and carrot shreds as one of the cold dishes. Every year, my mother will go to the wholesale market to enjoy it slowly. In Chinese medicine, it has the effects of nourishing the qi, relieving astringent and reducing thirst, invigorating the spleen, nourishing the lungs, and clearing fire. Therefore, pumpkin is a kind of cheap and good quality. Vegetables for both food and therapy. Wash the melon and cut it open, remove the flesh seeds, add water to a pot and boil, boil for 5-10 minutes, insert the melon flesh with chopsticks, then remove it and cool it and use chopsticks to stir the melon shreds longitudinally. Rinse with clean water, drain, add seasoning and stir-fry. In the hotel, the method of pickling with salt and then shredded is what my mother learned from the hotel for making cold dishes. It is refreshing and delicious after being fried and cooled.
