Burnt Cordyceps Flowers with Winter Melon

Burnt Cordyceps Flowers with Winter Melon

Overview

[Winter Melon and Cordyceps Flowers] Lazy Man’s Soup in One Pot Every night before going to bed, the little girl always calls her mother and tells her what to eat at noon the next day. This seems to have become the rule. When she told Dad Mi about this situation with a smile, Dad Mi laughed and said: Then you have to listen to her! That means you don’t have to listen to her at all! In fact, it’s fine for us to just make whatever the child wants to eat. As long as the little girl orders it and the mother cooks everything, the little girl’s food will be particularly delicious. Isn’t that great! The weather is relatively hot, so soup at noon is indispensable. I often make some lazy soup dishes, which are convenient, fast and less troublesome. One day when I was cooking winter melon, I added too much water and it turned into a soup. My daughter liked it very much. I ordered this dish again one day. Mima did as she was told, but the little girl said it didn't taste like the one she had last time. Mima forgot what it tasted like last time. She only remembered that it was winter melon and cordyceps flowers. Maybe sugar was added, maybe the brand of soy sauce was changed, maybe the winter melon was not the same variety. The little mouth was so precise, and it tasted different! Well, let’s do it next time! The flowers produced by Cordyceps are a fungus that has nothing to do with the precious Chinese medicine Cordyceps sinensis. It is the seed entity of Cordyceps militaris. What we eat is artificially cultivated. Cordyceps flower is rich in protein, amino acids, various vitamins and trace elements, making it an ideal substitute for Cordyceps sinensis. Cordyceps flowers can be mixed and eaten, burned or boiled in soup. You can do it as you like. There are many benefits to eating it regularly. Using winter melon and Cordyceps flowers to bake together, the originally bland winter melon taste becomes richer. In addition, more water is added when cooking, and it becomes a semi-soup dish, which is quite good.
