Cooking Steps
Step1:Prepare the required materials - a balsam pear of the same thickness. A half root of sweet potato with red heart. (you can use pumpkin or purple potato instead of sweet potato.)
Step2:Wash and peel the sweet potatoes, cut them into thin slices, put them in a high-temperature container, cover with plastic film, pierce several holes with toothpicks, and heat them in the microwave oven for 6 minutes.
Step3:Take it out. Use a spoon to mash the sweet potatoes. Add some white sugar and stir well. Sweet potato has a sweet taste. Add white sugar again. It's more sweet and delicious. If you don't like too sweet, you can skip it.
Step4:After the balsam pear is washed, cut it from the middle. Use chopsticks to remove the pulp in the middle.
Step5:Boil the water in the pot. Add 1g salt and a few drops of oil. Blanch the bitter gourd for 2 minutes (blanching the bitter gourd can remove part of the bitter taste; add a little salt and oil. It can also make the color of the bitter gourd more beautiful and green; it can also remove part of oxalic acid. Oxalic acid can hinder the absorption of calcium in the food).
Step6:Blanch the bitter gourd with good water and put it into cold water. Change the cold water several times until the bitter gourd becomes cold. The color of balsam pear treated in this way is more beautiful. It's more refreshing to eat. It won't be so bitter.
Step7:Put one end of the balsam pear in the palm of your hand. Put the sweet potato puree in the other end with a spoon. Then use chopsticks to compact the sweet potato puree. Until the balsam pear is filled with sweet potato puree, the remaining half of the balsam pear is also filled with sweet potato puree.
