Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Wash and peel the winter melon and cut into large cubes and set aside

   

2. 2 Chop green onions

   

3. 3 Mince garlic

   

4. 4 Put an appropriate amount of oil in the pot, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, then add a small piece of cinnamon and a small star anise! The vegetarian dishes made this way can taste like meat!

   

5. 5 Add the winter melon pieces and stir-fry evenly

   

6. 6 Pour half of the water into the winter melon and bring to a boil over high heat. Add two tablespoons of light soy sauce!

   

7. 7 tablespoon oyster sauce! 1/2 tablespoon dark soy sauce for coloring

   

8. 8 Add a little sugar to add freshness, a little chicken essence, cover and simmer for 10 minutes over medium-low heat. Turn the winter melon 2-3 times during the simmering process! Let the winter melon heat evenly and absorb the flavor

   

9. 9 When 3/1 of the winter melon soup is simmered, turn on high heat to reduce the juice, add an appropriate amount of water starch to thicken it and stir-fry evenly

   

10. 10 Add a little salt to taste. Be sure to add less salt, because light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and oyster sauce are all salty. Adding salt is just to enhance the taste.

    

11. 11 Just sprinkle with chopped green onions after serving. This braised winter melon tastes a bit like braised pork. It is not only delicious to satisfy cravings, but also slimming and beauty-enhancing!
