- ·20ml oil
DIRECTIONS
Step 1
First, take out 500g of winter melon. Peel it and then cut it into slices of uniform thickness, just like cutting potato slices. Set the cut slices aside. Cut 20g of ginger into thin shreds and set aside.
Step 2
After preparing the ingredients, heat the pan first. Pour in 15ml of oil. As soon as the oil is hot, put in the shredded ginger and quickly stir - fry to bring out the fragrance.
Step 3
Then, pour the winter melon slices into the pan. Use a spatula to quickly stir - fry for 1 - 2 minutes so that the winter melon slices are evenly coated with oil. Add 5g of salt and continue to stir - fry evenly to season.
Step 4
Add 30g of dried shrimp and continue to stir - fry evenly. The umami flavor of the dried shrimp will be quickly released and blend with the fresh aroma of the winter melon.
Step 5
Then, pour in 30ml of clear water. Turn up the heat. After the water boils, cover the pot and simmer for 5 - 7 minutes until the winter melon becomes soft and transparent.
Step 6
After the winter melon becomes soft, add 5ml of oil and stir - fry evenly to make the winter melon slices more shiny. Finally, turn off the heat and serve the dish.
