Cucumber is suitable for frying and wax gourd is suitable for cooking, which is determined by the respective food characteristics of cucumber and wax gourd.

Sauté ed cucumber can keep the food crisp, but if cooked, it will be soft and rotten, losing the flavor of the food itself.

However, wax gourd is suitable for soup because of its high water content, and it is even less nutritious. There are also fried melon, but they are all cut into melon slices to fry.
