Must-eat recommendation: frozen bamboo shoots
It is not a plant, but a gray, fat, chain-shaped worm that looks a bit like an earthworm. Because it grows into a cylinder, it looks a bit like a "mini bamboo shoot", and Xiamen people call it a soil bamboo shoot. Because this kind of bug grows in shallow sea and tidal flat, Cantonese people hold a realistic attitude and call it "Mud Ding". After the bamboo shoots dig out the silt, they should take a day off and spit out the impurities in their stomachs. Then, cruelly crush the worm, remove the internal organs, wash it repeatedly, remove the dirt and impurities in the stomach and start cooking. After three or five minutes, the gum overflows and the soup can be scooped up and put in a small porcelain bowl.
