This dish is a home-cooked dish that our Shanghai locals particularly like. It is made with seasonal shepherd's purse, tofu, pork shreds, and mushrooms. The traditional one is salty and umami. I added rice vinegar and spicy pepper to make it hot and sour, the shepherd’s purse is tender and the tofu is smooth. Tender, with the fresh aroma of shredded pork and mushrooms, it is sour and spicy and appetizing. It can be called a nutritious, delicious and inexpensive popular dish.
