Everything is born in spring. For foodies, spring leek, shepherd's purse, toon, bean sprouts and so on are not to be missed in spring.
Green leafy vegetables are not easy to miss, but what about houttuynia?
Houttuynia cordata, the scientific name water spinach, is also called Pleurotus ostreatus, and the dog sticks to the ear. In my hometown, Houttuynia cordata is generally called Pleurotus ostreatus, and the oral language is called "Zheergen". Houttuynia generally grows on the edge of the ditch. When I was a child, I could see a lot of them. They were all wild and natural.
Houttuynia cordata belongs to the winter and spring food. Although it can be found all year round, the spring houttuynia cordata is very tender and has a crisp taste. Whether it is eaten with it, porridge, or soup, it is very good.
For houttuynia, my favorite way to eat it is cold. Today's [Houttuynia cordata in sauce] tastes different from the past. I used to like to mix it with spicy flavor, but today I mixed it with a shacha flavor. If it tastes good, it won’t be hot, and those who are afraid of spicy food can try it. Anyway, my leader likes it very much.
For the shacha sauce, I use the royal brand shacha sauce, which is delicate and delicious. It can be used in various cooking methods such as frying, steaming, mixing, and burning. The taste is slightly sweet and spicy, and has a unique flavor. "
