When I went home during the Qingming Festival, there were a lot of wild vegetables in the refrigerator, and during the chat, I learned that these wild vegetables were picked that morning before I went home, saying that I was back and liked to eat these vegetables, so I picked some back. There is one of these dishes, which must be emphasized here, if you encounter it, you should also hurry up and eat it, so what kind of dish is this?
4月這菜使勁吃!一開胃,二清肝,三清熱解毒,正當時令別不懂吃。這個菜,便是當下的時令菜,香椿芽,古詩雲:"雨前椿芽嫩如絲,雨後椿芽生木質。"香椿是一種時令性特彆強的菜,穀雨之前最為的鮮嫩,而穀雨之後,口感就會大打折扣,當下距離穀雨,還有半個月的時間,這也是吃香椿最佳的一個時間段。
Historically, there are many records about toon, the Northern Song Dynasty's "Materia Medica" recorded: "Tsubaki wood is solid and the leaves are fragrant, can be eaten", and the Ming Dynasty's "Saving Famine Materia Medica" praised it for "saving hunger and detoxifying". At this time, eating toon is not only appetizing, clearing the liver, but also playing a role in clearing heat and detoxifying. So how do you eat it?
Recommended recipe 1: toon head mixed with tofu
The Qing Dynasty's "Suiyuan Food List" recorded: "Toon head mixed with tofu is the first product of Jinling spring plate", and its medicinal and edible homologous characteristics are even more praised by the "Food Therapy Materia Medica" as "awakening the spleen and appetizing, cleansing the old depression".
Ingredients: toon, soft tofu, sesame oil, salt
Method: Clean the toon, put it in boiling water for blanching, the time does not need to be too long, about a few seconds, then take it out and chop it, blanch the tofu, mix it with the toon, put a little salt and a little sesame oil, you can eat it directly.
Recommended recipe 2: Toon omelet
Ingredients: toon, eggs, cornmeal, chopped green onion, salt
Method: Pick a little toon, blanch and chop, and mix it with 50 grams of eggs and 0 grams of cornmeal. Cook in an iron pot until the smoke rises, pour in rapeseed oil, scoop a spoonful of batter and turn it into a full moon. Wait for the edges to be covered with golden buds, sprinkle the wild onion and turn it over, and sear until it is amber on both sides. The aroma of eggs penetrates into the nasal cavity with the fresh air of grass and trees, and the graininess of coarse grains neutralizes the oiliness.
This way of eating is also in line with the meaning of "Spring Plate" in "Mountain Family Qing Offering", where protein and dietary fiber dance together, protecting the liver and eyes.
Recommended recipe 3: Toon mugwort
Ingredients: glutinous rice flour, wormwood juice, toon, reeds, pork belly
Method: Glutinous rice flour and wormwood juice are kneaded into jasper balls, wrapped in toon, bamboo shoots, and bacon fried with three fresh fillings. The plantain leaves are steamed at the bottom for 15 minutes, and the moment the lid is lifted, the fragrance of wormwood mixed with the pungent taste of Tsubaki buds comes to the face. The warmth of glutinous rice wraps the mellow of bacon, which is in line with the principle of "Xingan and Yang" in traditional Chinese medicine.
When the mountain breeze blows through the Tsubaki forest, the new shoots tremble in the twilight. This is the best time to eat toon, this gift of spring through thousands of years, not only nourishes our spleen and stomach, but also reminds us that the diet that conforms to the time of day is the best health philosophy. So if you encounter toons, don't miss it.
Finally, I would like to remind you that when we eat toon, we must pay attention to ensure its freshness, and it is relatively better to eat it on the day of picking, because if it is stored for a long time, it is easy to appear nitrite amine, and it will also greatly reduce its nutrition, and the taste will be much worse.
