Ma Ye, a famous dish in Chaoshan.
Hemp rope is rarely used, and hemp leaves are carried forward. The most expensive vegetable all year round is hemp leaves, which are found in Chaoshan restaurants. Soak the hemp leaves in water of about 80 degrees, and lift them to dry. Add the fried garlic into the pot, add the tofu and stir-fry until fragrant, and stir-fry the hemp leaves to taste.
Chaoyang hegao matiancheng Xi cuisine
Gao He Village, Liangying Town, Chaoyang City, develops characteristic agriculture and increases farmers' income according to local advantages. At present, 500 mu of sesame is planted in the village, and the leaves of sesame are fragrant all over the country. This alone, the annual income will exceed 3 million yuan.
Villagers in Gao He have been farming for generations and have the tradition and experience of growing jute. In the past, jute was mainly harvested from hemp skin as an industrial raw material, and tender yellow hemp leaves can be eaten as vegetables, which is a favorite food of Chaoshan people. In recent years, with the development of modern industry, there are fewer and fewer jute growers. A few years ago, a compatriot from Taiwan Province, Gao He, returned to his hometown, bringing with him fine seeds of sesame. In order to encourage and help farmers to grow sweet hemp and increase their income, the town government allocated special funds to reward potash fertilizer 100 kg per mu for farmers to grow sweet hemp. After experimental planting, it has now formed a scale. The yield per mu of sesame is as high as 1 ton, with an average value of more than 7000 yuan per ton. It is a high-yield and high-value vegetable crop.
Sweet hemp leaves are not only delicious, but also rich in vitamins and nutrients. Wei Chao restaurants and hotels in Beijing, Shanghai, Wuhan, Guangzhou and Shenzhen all bought in large quantities, and the local market was also very hot. Hemp leaf, which used to be a vulgar Chaoshan peasant food, has now become a delicacy in big cities. (Guo Hengqu)
Xiang Ma Ye —— Notes on the Country (Ⅲ)
Living in the country, there is a large farmland in front of my house. Standing at the door, or standing on the balcony, green crops jump into your eyes. Because of this field, I can find the first touch of green when spring comes, that is, "the grass color is near, but it is not", which is faint green in the sunny field; I can still hear the footsteps of spring, which is the first sound of a frog who just woke up from hibernation by a small canal; King's landing in midsummer is like a frog drum cicada singing announcement; As for the late winter in the south, only by listening to the north wind passing through the yellow, fat and green fields can we capture some information. Throughout the year, the fields alternate with each other, and I can appreciate its changes and elegance at the first time. This is a kind of enjoyment, a kind of happiness, just like the ancient people's happy mood of "we open the windows of your garden and field and talk about mulberry and hemp with cups in our hands"
For the field in front of my house, I am most concerned about Xiangma Garden. The hemp garden is like a tea garden, and the oval hemp leaves are as green as tea; Picking hemp is like picking tea, with a basket in one hand and a hemp heart in the other, and occasionally picking a star and putting it in the basket in the morning. From sowing in early spring to mining in late spring, from the harvest season in midsummer to the end of picking in late autumn, every production process of sesame has come into my field of vision every time. Sometimes I will walk into the hemp garden and smell the fragrance of slightly green hemp leaves, and my heart will feel extremely full.
Villagers are good at growing marijuana. Jute was planted in the past. Hemp skin can be peeled off and dried, and it can be sold as money, hemp rope, linen and sacks. In the past, the mosquito nets of rural people were all flax, which was strong and durable. A linen mosquito net won't last two or three generations. Sang Ma has been an indispensable pet for farmers since ancient times. However, in the 1980s, the old almanac was useless. No one wants hemp skin, hemp is left out in the cold, and hemp garden gradually disappears from the field. Many farmers "go to sea" to do business or work. At this time, people who don't wash their feet or go to the ground find that amaranth, thick vegetables and sweet potato leaves, which used to be pig feed, are on the menus of restaurants and restaurants, so they think of hemp leaves. Based on experience, hemp leaves can be eaten, which has the functions of promoting digestion and appetizing, clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, but it tastes bitter. In the past, only poor farmers cooked with hemp leaves. Now, the days of starvation have passed, and many over-nourished people are looking for green food that returns to nature. Hemp leaves must have other uses. After several years of trial and error, hardworking and intelligent villagers finally cultivated an edible cannabis different from traditional cannabis. The leaves of this edible hemp can be boiled, boiled and fried to make soup. It tastes sweet and delicious, fragrant and refreshing. If you are tired of eating wine, meat and sweet sesame leaves, that feeling is best described by a well-known advertising word: delicious! When the first crop of sweet hemp leaves appears in late spring every year, it often sells for more than ten or twenty yuan per catty, which is more than twice as expensive as pork.
Sweet hemp has been planted in my hometown for nearly 20 years, and the production scale has expanded year by year. The production base of sweet hemp leaves in Gaohe Village with an annual output value of 67 million yuan can be said to be a unique vegetable production base in eastern Guangdong and even in the world. In 2003, after testing by relevant departments, the quality of sweet hemp leaves produced in Gaohe Village of Liangying Town met the national agricultural industry standard of "pollution-free food", and the Provincial Department of Agriculture specially issued the "Guangdong Province Pollution-free Agricultural Products Certificate". Over the years, sweet hemp leaves have been widely favored, not only in eastern Guangdong, but also in restaurants and restaurants in big cities such as Guangzhou and Shenzhen. In summer, some people are addicted to sesame leaves, almost reaching the obsession of "you can't eat a meal without this gentleman" In addition, the "shredded sweet potato porridge with hemp leaves" full of Chaoshan local flavor has attracted many folks at home and abroad who have returned home, and people who have eaten this unique food are relished.
Sweet hemp leaf has become a famous brand with a far-reaching reputation in my hometown.

Asari leaf
Another feature of Chaozhou-Shantou cuisine is that it likes to eat porridge, and there are many side dishes for sending porridge, such as pickles, tribute dishes and olive dishes, which people are familiar with. The hemp leaf introduced here is a side dish made of wild vegetables.
Hemp leaf is a unique kenaf leaf in Chaoshan, which was not eaten in the past, because Chaoshan people had to wait for the elders of kenaf, so they used kenaf skin to weave ropes. Now that no one is knitting ropes, this kind of hemp leaves is on people's dining tables. Hemp leaves were picked from the top of kenaf when it was very young, so this kind of kenaf will never grow up and can't be made into rope. However, the hemp leaves on the table are rare and delicious. The hemp leaves should be washed with water to remove the astringency and then fried, which is a bit salty, but porridge is perfect.
Idiot teaches you how to make hemp leaves.
I love hemp leaves, but I didn't expect to eat them in Shenzhen.
In the past, someone in Chaoshan House asked Ma about her practice, and I even specifically consulted my mother. By the way, if you can buy unprocessed hemp leaves, the landlord can make them, which will definitely be better than those in the restaurant outside:)
First, stir-fry garlic with soybean oil in a wok, then take out most of the heated garlic with soybean oil, leaving a little oil at the bottom of the wok, and then stir-fry the washed hemp leaves with salt, and a small amount of water will seep out. Squeeze the hemp leaves to the side of the pot with a spatula, drain the water, then pour the original soybean oil and garlic cloves into the pot, add Puning bean paste and stir fry. Bitter but memorable hemp leaves are coming out of the pot:)
