Introduction: This dish is cheap and inconspicuous, it’s so popular to dry it. Stock more in autumn, and stir-fry and stew in winter are so delicious!

Autumn is a beautiful season and a season of harvest! Every autumn, many fruits and vegetables are on the market in large quantities! The fruits and vegetables at this time are both fresh and nutritious, and the price is cheap! However, after entering late autumn, as the temperature gradually drops, many plants stop growing! After winter begins, there are even fewer types of vegetables grown on the open air! Especially in the cold north, except for radish and cabbage, other vegetables are grown in combination. Not only are they expensive, but their nutritional value is much worse than autumn vegetables! Therefore, every autumn when vegetables are on the market in large quantities, there is a custom of "dried vegetables" in many places in the north.

Speaking of dried vegetables, basically all vegetables can be dried into dried vegetables and stored, such as eggplant, peppers, cucumbers, potatoes, pumpkins, beans, etc., which are very delicious after drying! However, in addition to these vegetables, there is also a vegetable that is cheap and nutritious, which is especially suitable for drying vegetables. It is " gourd gua "! Gourd melon, also known as " gourd ", is a common melon and vegetable in rural areas. Guaroon is rich in protein , vitamin C, and trace elements such as potassium, calcium, and phosphorus. Fresh gourd melon is fragrant and delicious, and it is delicious whether it is stir-fried, stewed in soup or filling! Dried gourd melon is not only particularly storage-resistant, but also has a better taste! Next, the chef will share with you the delicious recipes of dried gourd melon!
