This cute Gua Gua was native to East India. According to legend, when Zheng He went to the west in the Ming Dynasty, he brought back to China from Sumatra.

It is very simple. It is regarded as the "king of medicine and vegetables" -the planting is not difficult, the melon is full, and it can also alleviate the common heat stroke fever and toothache diarrhea in Guangdong. It is really a treasure. As a result, Cantonese developed more than a dozen varieties of bitter gourd, and in the history of hundreds of years, countless ways to eat.

If it is divided by bitterness, the entry level should be a variety of stewed soup.

On the occasion of summer and autumn, the Cantonese soup is standard, and bitter gourd pork rib soup is essential. Choose a thick bitter gourd with a thick meat, scrape slices, and pork nine with the fresh sections of the eight or two. Under the blessing of soybeans and ginger slices, simmer. The crispy bitter gourds gradually became soft and gentle in the boiling. In the end, the soup was almost unable to taste the bitterness, and even a trace of sweetness.

Cantonese people call bitter melon, which has a origin. In the "Guangdong New Language" of the Qing Dynasty, the literati boasted that it was a gentleman who was "suffering but not suffering", but the chefs did not recognize it -still bitter, soak and simmer the water before the pot. At the same time, in order to show the authentication of its "fire" effect, the folks have a new name of "cold melon" with the chef, which sounds more refreshing than bitter gourd, and it is auspicious ~

Guangdong, the national trend tea drinking cash. From oil mandarin and yellow peels to olives, there are local niche fruits from here every year, all the way to the country. However, under this kind of "everything can be followed by the trend", only the bitter lime tea shows a single show. Even if it is so popular in the local area, it has not attracted the addition of people across the country. Occasionally, there are trial brands, and most of them have no water flowers and even endlessly end.

After all, only Cantonese loves not only deeply, but also avant -garde.

The inheritance of one person to support one side, the inheritance of urban regional culture must include the passing of food taste.

Cantonese!

Cantonese people love bitter gourd, it will change bitter gourd

Some people have attributed the popularity of bitter gourd in Guangdong to the Cantonese people. However, I feel that the attitude of Cantonese to bitter gourd has implied the true nature of Lingnan culture that is not afraid of suffering and suffering.

Guangdong is located in the subtropical monsoon area. On the one hand, the South China Sea and the three sides are mountains. Every year, they must fight with moisture, heat, typhoon, and endless bugs (bitter). God gives good things. However, the Cantonese who had a strong life, refused to obey and endure hardships.

As a result, the battle of Cantonese VS bitter gourd was officially launched.

In addition to continuously trying new side dishes and upgrading methods in cooking, the Cantonese people directly started from planting and cultivated one after another: Foshan Nanhai Shishan Daishan Bitter Gourd, Meijiang White House bitter gourd, Zhaoqing Guizi bitter gourd, Jiangmen Du Ruan Lianggua, etc. Many specialty varieties.

Taking the Big Gourd Gourd of Shishan, Foshan, don't look at the appearance of the outer surface, but its sugar content is directly 10%higher than the ordinary bitter gourd (yes, it is to increase the amount of sugar content of bitter gourd, which is so arrogant). It is the eight major in the South China Sea. The absolute protagonist of the famous banquet "Big Bitter Gourd Banquet"; while Hakka Cai's common Meijiang White House bitter gourd is fried and even has a special "Bitter Gourd King" selection competition in the local area.

And whether it is innovative practice or improved varieties, in order to enjoy the effect of bitter gourd to relieve heat, don't be too bitter. Of course, the bitter taste can be available in the cantonese table, but it must not be passive tolerance that cannot resist.

Ordinary people may be like Eason Chan's lyrics in "Bitter Gourd". When they were young, they often did not know how to appreciate bitter gourds. After more than half of their lives, they understood that sweetness and bitterness were all life. The Cantonese people are more brave, and they are directly greeted by suffering.
