Benefits of bitter melon and onion shreds: - Promote digestion: The bitter taste in bitter melon can stimulate gastric juice secretion and increase appetite; onions contain dietary fiber and oligosaccharides, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and help digestion. - Supplement vitamins: Bitter melon is rich in vitamin C (helps to resist oxidation and enhance immunity), while onions provide B vitamins (participate in body metabolism) and vitamin K (beneficial to coagulation function). - Assist in sugar control: The bitter melon saponins in bitter melon have an insulin-like effect and may help regulate blood sugar; the sulfide in onions also has a certain auxiliary effect on blood sugar control. - Antioxidant: Both contain antioxidants (such as polyphenols in bitter melon and quercetin in onions), which can help remove free radicals in the body and reduce cell oxidative damage
This dish tastes really good. The fresh shrimp meat is chewy and firm, with the freshness of seafood; the boiled eggs are cut into pieces, the yolk is dense, the egg white is smooth, and it has a mellow egg fragrance; the cucumber is crisp and juicy, and the onion is slightly spicy and sweet. The freshness of the two just balances the richness of the fresh shrimp. Several ingredients collide in the mouth, with soft and tender interweaving with crispness, and clear layers.
Sichuan and Chongqing's salty shaobai (rice shao) is a melt-in-your-mouth pork belly. The fatty, glutinous pork belly is not greasy at all, while the lean pork belly is perfectly flavorful. The chopped bean sprouts are salty and fragrant, with a crisp and flavorful chew. Mixed with the pork belly, the combination of salty and sweet flavors is so fragrant it's almost intoxicating! In Sichuan and Chongqing, this dish is a common dish at banquets and restaurants. I, a meat-averse person, saw this shaobai (rice shao) at my grandmother's house and tried a piece. My eyes widened, and I devoured the entire plate! Since then, I've become a true meat-eater. Every time I go back to my grandmother's house, the first thing I shout is, "I want shaobai!"
