Last weekend in Huidong, relatives entertained them to eat farm food, the menu has been arranged in advance.

The impression that farm food has always given me is that the originality and presentation are simple.

Of course, there are also impressive details. For example, 10 years ago, we learned that pepper leaves can also be eaten when wild mushrooms were used; 7 years ago, we learned that perilla can also be used to steam fish belly while sitting in a bamboo house by the lake. I have known all these things since I was a child, and I never thought that one day I could stand up to the top of the table without being able to get on the stage.

Huidong's Hakka dishes are naturally quite satisfactory, but at the end, a bitter gourd stir-fried red amaranth made my eyes bright. Red, red, green, and me are among you, and the mix and match is perfect.

Eating it in one bite makes the amaranth, which has little characteristics, immediately become more sweet, and the bitterness of bitter gourd is appropriately weakened.

How did you come up with the idea? I thought of Zhou Xun and Huang Xiaoming’s argument about tomato ebony (there is a practice in my work list) in "The Best Life of a Coquettish Woman", "I think there may be someone eating ebony, and then someone next to him gave him a tomato. He mixed the two flavors together, and the more they ate, the more they felt... special, so there was.".

The breadth and depth of the Chinese nation’s food culture has never been in vain. Once such an ordinary dish is mixed up, even the people of the earth will not recognize it.

After I came back, I was always thinking about it, so I made it once according to my own thoughts, and it turned out to be different. The most important thing was that it was the taste.

Efficacy of bitter gourd: clearing away heat and heat, reducing blood pressure and blood sugar, diuresis and cooling blood, clearing fat and losing weight, accelerating detoxification and preventing cancer, etc. Grandma always said that bitter gourd is something that causes dampness when it gets wet. Although it is so contradictory, it has not been able to stop my love for bitter gourd.

Red amaranth effects: promote hematopoiesis, benefit large and small intestines, lose weight and cleanse the body, promote detoxification and prevent constipation. I remember that if we were constipated when we were young, adults would find a kind of wild vegetables and amaranth soup for us to eat, the effect is very effective.

Tips:

1. The bitter gourd is blanched in order to remove the bitterness and astringency. You can also leave it unboiled if you like it crispy;

2. Bitter melon and green leafy vegetables are cooked differently, so they must be fried first;

3. Adding oyster sauce when frying vegetables can keep the green color and increase the umami taste;

4. Put the minced garlic just before it is out of the pot. It will have a natural garlic fragrance. If you like it, you can cut thick slices and put it in the hot oil pan.
