Egg loofah soup recipe steps and nutritional value

Have you ever had egg loofah soup? It is very delicious. I often make it when I have nothing to do at home. My family also likes it very much. Here I will tell you how to make it:

Nutritional value of loofah:

Rich in copper, copper is an indispensable trace nutrient for human health. It has an important influence on the development and function of blood, central nervous and immune systems, hair, skin and bone tissue, as well as internal organs such as the brain, liver and heart.

Rich in vitamin C, which can protect dental health, prevent arteriosclerosis, scavenge free radicals to prevent cancer, protect cells, detoxify, protect the liver, and enhance immunity and emergency response capabilities.

Steps for making egg loofah soup

1. Beat the eggs with salt.

2. There are two ways to peel the loofah: one is to use a peeling knife to directly remove the outer layer of green skin; the other is to use a knife to gently scrape the skin diagonally and only remove the outermost rough skin. The second method looks good and can preserve more nutrients, so I recommend this method. If the loofah is a little older, it is best to peel off the entire skin to avoid affecting the taste.

3. Wash the loofah and cut it into strips. Of course, you can also cut it into slices, dices or whatever according to your own habits and preferences.

4. Put a proper amount of oil in the pan, heat it to 60% to 70%, put in the eggs and fry them. While the pan is hot, add a proper amount of water. If you add water to a hot pan, the soup will be white and look better.

5. You can use a soup pot or an iron pot to cook it. Don't add too much water, because the loofah will release water when it is cooked.

6. After the water boils, add the loofah strips and cook until soft. Add salt to season before serving.

7. Compared with stir-fried loofah, I prefer to use loofah to make soup. Adding eggs makes it light but not tasteless. Similarly, you can make loofah and meat soup, loofah and meatball soup, etc. Just give full play to your imagination!

8. It is best to use less salt, which is not only healthy but also can bring out the sweet taste of loofah.

9. This method is often used in my hometown. Different from the previous method of directly pouring the egg liquid into the soup, the fried eggs are particularly fragrant.
