Seafood Winter Melon Cup

Overview

The weather in Guangdong is relatively hot and dry. When people sweat, they also lose salt, so they drink soup to replenish water and salt. This is why we Cantonese people are good at making soup! The impression of Cantonese soup is that of a hot soup. The longer the soup is simmered, the better it tastes and the more nutritious it is. In fact, some Laohuo soups are high in fat and sugar, and drinking too much is not beneficial. Especially for people with hyperlipidemia and diabetes, they must abide by dietary precepts. Even soups should not be drunk indiscriminately, so as not to affect their health. It is not advisable to drink too much Laohuo soup, so you need simple soup to adjust it! The seafood and winter melon cup does not require adding a drop of oil. It is easy to make and easy to make. The ingredients are all easily available and there is no need to wait for several hours. It incorporates seafood and only needs salt for seasoning. It tastes delicious. Even an old man who never likes seafood soup said it tastes good! If you can give the winter melon cup a simple carving, even a simple lace, it can add a lot of color to the dining table and whet your family's appetite! For the competition, I opened the engraving knife that I had stored away since I bought it. The first time I carved it, I was very embarrassed. It made my old man say bluntly that I was not good at engraving. Because of his words, it made me want to carry forward the spirit of "since I have chosen, I must do it"! So I still carved out this winter melon cup. It was my first time to learn carving, and I could only do simple things. The workmanship was still rough, which made me look ugly!

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare the raw materials. Choose the head and tail parts of the winter melon, which weigh about 4 kilograms. Try to buy fresh shrimps. If they are refrigerated shrimps, also check the shrimp heads. If the shrimp hair is black, the shrimp is not fresh; the imperial clams can be replaced with snails, clams, etc.; the broth is made by boiling the large bones prepared by yourself for two or three hours. If you don’t have them, you can use water and it will still be delicious!
