Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Ingredients: 1 loofah (about 350g), 10 fresh shrimps.

   

2. 2 Wash the prawns, remove the heads and shells, and leave the tails. Open the backs and remove the threads. Leave the tails when peeling the shrimps. When the shrimp tails are fried, they will turn carmine red and the finished dish will look better.

   

3. 3 Put the processed shrimps into a bowl and add a little salt, really a little bit, about 1 gram is enough, a little starch, mix well and marinate for a few minutes. (The shrimp balls here are fresh shrimps peeled by Zerui’s mother. They only have a little salt as a base and are not pickled with too many seasonings. If they are frozen shrimps, you can add a little white pepper and a little cooking wine to remove the fishy smell).

   

4. 4 Use a knife to scrape off the skin of the loofah, cut off both ends, and cut the loofah into pieces of similar size. Don't cut it too big or too thick, otherwise it won't be cooked easily. You can also slice it into long strips or dice it, whichever you like. Slice garlic and set aside.

   

5. 5 Put 2 teaspoons of cooking oil in the pot, add the marinated shrimp balls and stir-fry. Serve until it changes color.

   

6. 6 Use the remaining oil from the shrimp to sauté the garlic slices until fragrant.

   

7. 7 After sauteing the garlic slices, add the loofah and stir-fry over high heat. Quickly stir-fry until the luffa is broken. Young luffa is easier to cook. Do not fry it for too long. Over time, it will become soft and tender, and the texture will no longer be crisp and tender.

   

8. 8 Stir-fry until the loofah changes color slightly, add the fried shrimp balls, stir-fry quickly and evenly, add a little salt and a little chicken powder. (The fire needs to be strong and the action needs to be fast, as the soup will easily come out after a long time).

   

9. 9 After adding the seasonings, mix quickly again and serve.
