We call this kind of plant fake gizzard, and some are called fake gizzard, clam gizzard and so on. In rural areas, because of its unique fragrance, we often use it for cooking, stir-frying, or stuffing jiaozi, jiaozi, fried meat pies and so on. , are very delicious.
1, fake chicken gizzards and snails are a perfect match.
Fried snails in Guangxi are very famous. The most famous is snail powder, but you know, when frying snails, put some fake leaves in, and the snails out of the pot are tender and fragrant.
I remember when I was a child, the fields were full of snails, especially when rice was first planted in spring. If you want to eat snails, go to the fields to find them, and you will soon find a big pot to take home with clear water for a few days.
When the snail spits out the sand, heat the oil pan, add ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the snail and stir-fry until fragrant, and then put it in the clear water pan for an hour or two. Every time at this time, the family will let the children pick some fake clams in the yard, and we will also walk over and put a leaf on our nose, which is really delicious.
When the snail is about to come out of the pot, chop up the fake leaves and put them in, and the whole room suddenly gives off an attractive fragrance. I can cook rice directly with soup and eat a big bowl.
2. Fake chicken gizzards and peppers are relatives.
It can be said that the whole body is a treasure, and its roots, leaves and fruits can be used as vegetables and even as medicine. The official scientific name of the fruit of the fake gizzard is water chestnut, which I believe many friends who make traditional Chinese medicine or perfume have heard of.
Speaking of it, fake chicken gizzards and pepper are still relatives, and people's eating history of long pepper is much earlier than that of pepper. In ancient times before the discovery of pepper, long pepper was once the spice protagonist on the table for a while.
The performance of long pepper is similar to that of pepper, and even the fragrance is stronger than pepper. But later, pepper was widely planted artificially, which was much easier and cheaper than long pepper. Gradually, long pepper was gradually replaced by pepper, thus withdrawing from the leading role of spices.
Even so, people still like all kinds of delicious food made from fake internal organs. In the famous food street in Nanning, Guangxi, there is a special kind of food called fake meat, which used to be Tik Tok's online celebrity food.
Chop the meat and season it with salt, soy sauce and pepper. It's very simple. These two fake gizzards are covered with minced meat and starch paste, and then fried in oil pan. They are crispy outside and tender inside, which is very delicious.
3. Fake Tatar was used as medicine, and some people in the Tang Dynasty took an examination of three-level civil servants for this purpose.
False Endothelium Corneum Gigeriae Galli can be used as medicine to treat diarrhea, cold and cough, edema, rheumatic bone pain, traumatic injury and sprain, etc., with good effect. According to historical records, China has mastered the efficacy of fake chicken's gizzard-membrane since the Tang Dynasty.
According to legend, Li Shimin, Emperor Taizong, suffered from a strange disease and kept farting, which could not be cured. This disease was called "qi dysentery" in ancient times, but it is actually a disorder of gastrointestinal function. Think about how embarrassing it is to be the head of a country and fart all day, so I went to the imperial list to recruit a doctor who can cure this disease.
At that time, a man surnamed Zhang in the Royal Guard of Honor took off the imperial order and said, "I can cure this disease." So he ground the seeds of the fake basket into powder, cooked them with milk and gave them to the emperor. Sure enough, he cured Emperor Taizong of his illness. Emperor Taizong was overjoyed and ordered him to be a civil servant with three products. Think about a small piece of water chestnut, which will make people promoted and rich. This matter is recorded in detail in Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica.
