2. Chop the shepherd's purse slightly, put it in a bowl, add flour, oil and corn flour. You don't need too much flour, as long as it can be kneaded into a dough.

3. Grab a ball of shepherd’s purse flour dough and place it firmly in the palm of your hand. The shepherd’s purse juice is mixed with the flour to form a ball. The size of the shepherd’s purse dough is arbitrary. I like to knead it into a bite size for children to eat.

4. Knead all the shepherd's purse dumplings.

5. Put the shepherd's purse dumplings in a steamer and steam them on high heat for ten minutes. If you eat it as a staple food, you can eat it directly. If you eat it as a vegetable, let's make a juice: put light soy sauce and sesame oil in a bowl, add small red hot peppers and chopped green onion, mix well, and serve. The hot dipping sauce is refreshing and especially appetizing.

Tips:
After the shepherd's purse is mixed with flour, corn flour, and oil, the state is relatively dry. Hold it firmly in the palm of your hand to make all the ingredients into a dough. If the taste is stronger, you can also add salt and chili powder. This shepherd's purse dumpling can be used as a staple food or as a dish with dipping sauce, refreshing and appetizing.

Shepherd's Purse is delicious, but because it is cold, add some ginger, onion and garlic to make a dipping sauce, which not only enhances the flavor but also neutralizes the coldness of shepherd's purse. People with bad stomachs should blanch the shepherd's purse before eating the shepherd's purse. The oxalic acid and tannic acid content of the shepherd's purse after blanching will be greatly reduced, which can also reduce the irritation to the stomach.

Also pay attention to the way of eating. People with poor stomach can eat shepherd’s purse fried or steamed when eating shepherd’s purse. Do not eat deep-fried shepherd’s purse. A large amount of fat will also affect the digestion of shepherd’s purse.

Shepherd's purse in spring is the most delicious, so if you have a chance, everyone should try it!
