In spring, many people eat wild vegetables very much. Eating elm money means being rich, but it's a painful memory for many people in their 50s. The old generation has special memories of eating Yuqian, so how can Yuqian be made delicious? What are the practices of Yuqian?
In difficult times of life, wild vegetables, bark, leaves & hellip; & hellip; can't eat, in order to survive. In our generation, the memory of Yuqian is sweet. Spring comes with the fragrance of flowers, which is mixed with the fragrance of Sophora and the sweet of Yuqian. The fragrance of Sophora itself has a sweet taste, while the sweet of Yuqian needs to be tasted. Climb up the tree, smooth it, and put it into your mouth. It's delicious.
The method of picking elm money is a bit like the present rolling string, but we should use 'rolling' instead of rolling! Gently hold the branch with elm money in our hands, and move slowly from top to bottom along the branch. In an instant, a handful of elm money is in our hands. A simple 'smoothing' condenses the simple life experience of the working people, which is highly efficient. If we use the 'picking' method, we will not get much in a day.
From the nutritional composition of Yuqian, it is almost the same as ordinary vegetables. The content of carotene is relatively high, including 730 micrograms, 62 mg of calcium, 104 mg of phosphorus and 7.9 mg of iron.
There are four ways to eat Yuqian:
Directly eaten raw
When I was a child, I basically stroked a handful and ate it directly, which was a snack. Now pay attention to the point, first wash and dry the elm money, put it in the plate, add sugar, or add some diced tomatoes and cucumbers, which are both good-looking and delicious. If you like salty taste, put some salt, soy sauce, vinegar, chili oil, onion, coriander, etc. Remember, we should eat less salt for health!
Steamed rice with elm
This is the most traditional and authentic way to eat. The method is simple and convenient. Clean the elm money, drain the water, sprinkle the flour, stir, put on the steamer, and steam it in 10 minutes. Mash the garlic and add some vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil and chili oil to make the dipping sauce. Mix with the freshly steamed Yuqian, and you can eat it. Yuqian is more delicious with garlic juice.
Porridge
The method is the same as the common vegetable congee. Stir fry the onion or garlic and boil it with boiling water. Cook the rice or millet congee under the pot. Put the washed elm money when the rice is fast ripening. Continue cooking for 5 to 10 minutes. Add the right amount of seasoning to make Yuqian porridge. It tastes smooth, fragrant and delicious.
Make stuffing
Wash and chop the elm money, mix it with shrimp, meat or eggs, then make dumplings, steamed buns, pancakes, fresh and smooth.
In the past, eating Yuqian was for living; it was fun to eat Yuqian every hour; now, eating Yuqian is for tasting. Yuqian has strong seasonal growth and short growth period, which is affected by the region, that is to say, it is impossible to eat it every day, so it has limited impact on the dietary nutrition intake and health.
