Stir-fried shredded pork with pickled melon

Overview

Every year during the chayote fruiting season, my mother would pick some tender chayote and soak it with chili peppers and Sichuan peppercorns to make sour melon. The sour chayote is delicious whether served cold or fried with meat. Chayote is comprehensive and rich in nutrients among melon vegetables. Regular consumption is beneficial to enhancing the body's ability to resist diseases. The protein and calcium content of chayote is 2-3 times that of cucumber, and the vitamin and mineral content are also significantly higher than other melons. It is also very low in calories and is a low-sodium food. It is a health-care vegetable for patients with heart disease and hypertension. Regular consumption of chayote can diuretic and excrete sodium, dilate blood vessels and lower blood pressure. According to the National Nutrition Association, zinc has a greater impact on children's intellectual development. Regular consumption of chayote, which contains more zinc, can help improve intelligence.
