Doudou is a specialty of Yangjiang, Guangdong, where I am now. Today, I am making this Doudou roasted wax gourd for everyone, so that everyone can eat more rice while eating the wax gourd to clear heat and relieve heat. The sauce aroma of Doudou can be easily added to rice ~

    1. If you like the taste of fermented black beans, feel free to add more; just use less salt then. The beans aren't very salty, so don't worry—the main point is to get a rich sauce flavor. 2. Scoring the winter melon in a mesh pattern makes it cook quickly and absorb flavors easily. However, the cuts shouldn't be too deep, or the melon will fall apart when cooked; but if they are too shallow, it won't absorb the flavor well. 3. Since adding fermented black beans makes the sauce very dark, there is no need to add soy sauce or other seasonings.
