Shrimp and loofah soup-tips

1. Luffa should not be eaten raw, but it can be cooked, boiled into soup, or mashed and applied to the affected area.

2. Loofah is rich in juice, so it should be cut and cooked immediately to prevent the nutrients from being lost with the juice.

3. When cooking loofah, you should try to keep it light, use less oil, add thin starch, and use MSG or pepper to enhance the flavor. This will show the fragrant, tender and refreshing characteristics of the loofah.

4. Dried shrimps are already very salty so there is no need to add more salt. If you like it more, you can add some more. You can also make stir-fried loofah.

5. Loofah has a sweet taste. Do not add heavy-flavored sauces such as soy sauce and bean paste when cooking, so as not to overpower the flavor.
