Luffa, preserved egg and tofu soup

Overview

It’s hot in summer and I don’t want to drink greasy bone and pork ribs soup, so I made a loofah, preserved egg and tofu soup today. Luffa has heat-clearing and detoxifying properties. At the same time, it is also suitable for symptoms such as bad breath, joint pain, burning and stinging of the urethra. Soft tofu is white in color, delicate in texture, soft and tender, rich in protein and has high nutritional value. Regular consumption of gypsum tofu can make people's faces white and tender. Preserved eggs are pungent, astringent, sweet, salty, cold in nature, and enter the stomach meridian; they have the effects of moistening the throat, removing heat, sobering up, removing fire in the large intestine, and treating diarrhea. This loofah, preserved egg and tofu soup is simple to operate, light in taste, rich in nutrients, and suitable for home production
