From the lyrics of children's songs jumping on rubber bands to the extremely popular cold dish fragrant dried Malantou, with a special and unrepeatable faint scent, Malantou has captured the appetite of many old Shanghainese.

It has many interesting names: Malangtou, Chicken Intestine and Misgurnus anguillicaudatus. It is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and many people know to use Malantou to stop bleeding and treat inflammation such as pharyngitis, conjunctivitis and mastitis. When you feel uncomfortable with your throat, eating some Malan head will relieve you a lot.

In addition to mixing dried incense, cooking with Malantou or cooking porridge is fragrant. White-collar workers who are always tired of seeing must learn this method of frying pork liver with Malantou to improve their eyesight and nourish their liver. Wash and cut off Malantou, wash and pour pork liver into hot oil, stir-fry until pork liver is cooked, then add Malantou and stir-fry for a while. Another considerate way is Malan porridge, which is also very simple, that is, when ordinary rice congee is about to be cooked, add Malan head and boil it.

Malantou is an out-and-out potherb. Malantou can be seen everywhere in the countryside in the south. It grows in crevices of stones, on the banks of rivers and on the roadsides. People pick it at will and take it home to cook, which is very pleasant. (But for inexperienced friends, let's go to the vegetable market like Douguo ...)
