After boiling, the white gourd is translucent. It's very beautiful. Food lovers often use this feature.

Although it's the appearance Association, I will never let the food lose its delicacy just for the sake of beauty. But if you can have both, it's best.

Cooking tips:Why does purple cabbage change color? Because purple cabbage juice contains anthocyanin. Anthocyanin will change color with pH value. It will turn red in acid condition and blue in alkaline condition. So purple cabbage with vinegar (white vinegar is suitable. Black vinegar itself is colored. It will affect the color) or lemon juice will turn red; baking soda will turn blue. The former food lovers use more. There is no ball digger. It's cut into strips directly. It's just as good to arrange. I don't want to use purple cabbage. It's also delicious to use fruit juice. No need to stick to it. There are skills in making delicious dishes.
