In March of Yangchun, it is the season of warm spring flowers. There are all kinds of seasonal vegetables and wild vegetables. During this time, people in the circle of friends are drying wild vegetables from time to time, which makes me salivate.

Especially the fresh and tender grass head is even more attractive. But now I can’t go out. I accidentally discovered that there are fresh grass heads on the Internet. The price is not expensive, only nine yuan per catty, so I rushed to place an order for a catty, and received it in two days! The fresh and tender grass heads are exactly the same as what we usually pick in the wild. I am so happy that I can eat fresh wild vegetables without going out!
The grass head with its own umami flavor is a kind of medicinal and edible food material with high medicinal value, diuresis and hemostasis, clearing heat and improving eyesight, eliminating food and other effects.

In addition, grass head is also a high-fiber food material that can clean the gastrointestinal tract and reduce the cholesterol content in the human blood. March is the best time to eat grass head. We might as well eat more grass head, which is good for the body.
There are many ways to eat Caotou, cold and stir-fried. It is a filling made with pork and dumplings and wontons are the best.

The dumplings are well done. In addition to the freshness of the ingredients, the combination of pork and grass head is also very important. My family usually uses half a catty of grass head for a pound of pork, and the pork for the filling should use pork front leg. The meat is fresher and tender, and the fat-to-lean ratio is generally 3 to 7. Too lean will taste very woody, and too fat is not good for your health.

Those who love to eat dumplings just keep them, and try to make them for their family members according to my method. It is the "first fresh" in spring, 9 yuan per catty, refreshing and appetizing, better than leek fillings!

Tips:

The water absorption of flour is different, and the amount of water is added according to the specific situation, and finally it becomes a slightly hard dough.
Add an egg to the pork filling and stir quickly in one direction. The pork puree is stirred vigorously to absorb a large amount of liquid, the taste is smooth, and the dumplings are especially delicious.
