Stewed loofah with scallops
Delicious food should not only emphasize "refinement and detail", but also "nourishment and thinness". Nurturing means "maintaining health", and dredging means clearing meridians and meridians and "relaxing internal organs". Only in this way can the benefits brought by delicious food to people not be wasted. If you patronize you with a delicious diet and a beautiful mouth, you will not be far from death, haha!
Therefore, to eat, we must pick up the good food and eat what is good for the person's body. Diet must be scientific, nutrition must be balanced, and matching must be reasonable. This is the way to maintain health. If you eat recklessly, you will report to God early. I believe that when eating every day, there should be more food that is beneficial to one's body that you think is delicious. If it's delicious but useless, then just don't eat it. There are too many examples of this kind in diet that we can't list them one by one in the short article, so let's pick up one good one to eat first today!
Today's one is a soup dish that detoxifies and health-preserving in summer. The main ingredient is the most common "loofah". It is made with Yao Zhu and is called "Raised Lufah with Yao Zhu". The main introduction here is "loofah".
Luffa, also known as "Tianluo" and "Holy Melon", originated in India and was introduced to our country around the Tang Dynasty. Li Shizhen said in "Compendium of Materia Medica":"Luffa was unknown before the Tang and Song Dynasties, but now it is found in the north and south. It is considered a common vegetable." Luffa is one of the melons with high medicinal value. The whole melon is a treasure and is known as the "melon and fruit medicine".
Luffa is sweet, cool and non-toxic. It contains saponin, citrulline, xylan, cellulose, protein, fat, sugar, calcium, phosphorus, iron, carotene, vitamin B, etc., and is beneficial to human health.
Luffa leaves clear heat and detoxify; Luffa skin treats golden sores and sitting sores; Luffa flowers treats lung heat cough, sore throat, and sinusitis; Luffa seeds treats limb edema, stony, and intestinal wind; Luffa collaterals treats chest rib pain, abdominal pain, and lumbago; Luffa vine treats numbness and edema in the waist, knees and limbs; Luffa cures migraine, mastitis, and throat wind.
To sum up, loofah tastes sweet and cool, and is most suitable for eating in summer. Whether it is frying, stewing, roasting, stewing, frying, or making soup and soup, it is all good!

    Features of this soup: Light color, soft and smooth luffa, savory taste, and delicious broth. Tips: 1. Choose tender luffa; when pinching with your hand, it should feel firm. 2. If you do not have chicken broth, store-bought clear soup stock cubes can be used instead. 3. The dried scallops must be cooked until soft and tender; press with a spoon after cooking, but do not mash them too finely. 4. Thicken the soup when the luffa is 70-80% cooked. The temperature will remain high after thickening; when the starch gelatinizes, the luffa will be fully cooked, and the texture will be at its best. Big Wok's summer cooling dish, "Braised Luffa with Dried Scallops," is now ready. I share this for your reference, and I hope you all enjoy it.
