Can wax gourd be eaten frozen?
We know that a large part of wax gourd belongs to water, followed by some common ingredients such as protein and vitamins, so even if it is frozen, it will not go bad, so we can continue to eat frozen wax gourd.
Many people will have this question, that is, is there a difference between frozen wax gourd and fresh wax gourd? In fact, there are still some, the main difference is the taste. Because the taste of wax gourd itself is not high, and after freezing, the original supporting tissue changes and becomes easily broken, so the taste of wax gourd after freezing will be a little rough, and then the water will be lost to a certain extent.
Therefore, we don't recommend that you fry the frozen wax gourd, because the fried wax gourd is not as delicious as the original fresh wax gourd because of the loss of water. But frozen wax gourd is not without its merits. We can take frozen wax gourd to braise in soy sauce. Especially stewed with meat, because some changes have taken place in the tissue of wax gourd after freezing, the taste in the soup is easier to enter the inside of wax gourd. In this case, the burnt wax gourd tastes better.
Therefore, in the future, if you buy winter melon and it is accidentally frozen, you can try braising in soy sauce or stewing meat. It's delicious, and it's better than fresh wax gourd stewed directly.
