Fried pickled melon

Overview

Have you ever lived in a hutong? Have you seen the pickle jar under the window? There is a wooden cover on the tank, and an open blue and white porcelain basin is stacked on top of it, with a flat lid (pronounce Dian, sound a bit), and a big brick on top to prevent cats and mice from eating. Haha😂😂 In winter, when the Spring Festival is approaching, there is this in the porcelain pot~~ Stir-fried pickled melons, which are chicken breast meat stir-fried with pickled cucumbers, and a lot of green onions. During the festival, we eat a lot of big fish and meat, and we get tired of pickles. When someone comes to have a meal at home, just put out a plate and it will be a dish, quickly. Often a plate is not enough to eat, so the freshly made steamed buns are delicious.

  5. Leave a little base oil in the original pot, not much. Throw in the ginger and aniseed, stir-fry briefly, add the diced cucumbers and peanuts, turn over a few times, add the diced chicken, stir-fry a few. When the heat comes up, add 2 tablespoons of cooking wine, add sugar. The chicken will change color slightly when it is dipped in soy sauce. Add the green onions and stir-fry until the green onions are not stagnant. Turn off the heat. Add sesame oil and mix well.

  6. Let it cool and then put it in the refrigerator for several meals. After all, pickles are salty. This thing can be eaten cold, no need to heat it. No need to add salt, the pickled melon is quite salty. The chicken borrows the taste of the pickled melon, which is salty and fresh, and the green onion enhances the taste. You will find that the green onion is more delicious than the meat.
