stir-fried beef with cold melon
By LeannBins
Cold melon is what Cantonese people call bitter gourd. Because the word bitter is not good, they call it cold melon. Cold melons have the effects of clearing heat and dispelling heat, improving eyesight and detoxifying, lowering blood pressure and lowering blood sugar, relieving labor and clearing heart, replenishing qi and strengthening yang. Making soup with cold melons has a good effect in relieving heat. Fried beef with cold melon is a classic Cantonese dish. The bitter taste of the cold melon will not be mixed into the meat. The fresh aroma of the meat can penetrate into the cold melon, making the cold melon rich and full in taste and a delicious dish. The processing of beef in this dish is very important. The beef must be marinated, and water must be added to marinate to make the stir-fried beef tender and smooth.
