Every time Sister Cat introduces herself to others, she will hear such feedback:
"You are from Yunnan, I heard that you Yunnan people especially like eating bugs"
"Are bugs delicious?"
"Where do you all catch bugs?"
"won't be bitten by bugs?"
...
Do you know how many eyes Sister Cat has rolled at you in her heart? We're not wild animals. Why eat bugs every day? Can't we eat something else? How delicious Yunnan is! You can eat flowers, grass, fruit and leaves! ! It is the city that limits your imagination.
In this season when the wind is breezy, everything is reviving, flowers are blooming and spring is full, Sister Cat really wants to be an anthomaniac. zZ, no, no, ahem, where is the big fairy who eats flowers!
well, let's go on, the flowers have withered, so let's officially start the introduction!
Banana flowers: Compared with bananas, most Yunnan people have more preference for bananas. This preference can be found in the traditional Dai courtyards. There are always several banana trees in large and small courtyards.
Banana leaves can wrap food, and the wrapped food can always smell a faint fragrance of banana leaves, which makes people unable to help but have an appetite. Banana trunk can be used as pig feed, and the meat quality of pigs that have eaten banana trees is particularly delicious; As for fruits and flowers, of course, they are delicious for everyone to enjoy. The plantain flower is actually the predecessor of the plantain fruit. Lift the petals covered on the plantain flower, and you can also see the uncivilized little plantain hidden in the flower heart. Remove the old terrier outside the plantain flower, and the rest is the edible part. Banana flowers can be cooked in a variety of ways, including cooking, boiling, steaming and frying. But the most perfect match is the canned braised pork. Blanch the plantain flowers, add ginger and garlic slices to saute, add water, put them into the canned braised pork, and simmer slowly for 2 minutes.
As soon as the lid is lifted, the house smells fragrant, and the fragrant braised pork and the fragrant plantain flowers are smooth. Eating three bowls of rice at a time is simply so easy.
White flower: White flower, also known as Jade Lotus, is a kind of flower that grows on high trees in mountain forests. Just like the name, it is white and purple, with a delicate posture, and it always shows a touch of elegance from a distance.
every year from March to April, that's right, now! Mountain people will go over mountains and mountains to look for traces of white flowers. White flowers are tall, and it is not easy to pick them. It is even more common for mountain people to be injured because of picking flowers. Therefore, when eating white flowers, please be grateful. It must be a special fate that makes you eat them! The collected white flowers will be boiled in boiling water first, so as to remove the astringency of the white flowers. After squeezing out the water, add dried pepper, garlic and lobster sauce, stir-fry the white flowers quickly, sprinkle a little leek before taking the pot, add salt, stir-fry and mix well, and put on a plate, and a plate of delicious fried white flowers will be finished.
White flowers have a special taste, which is a bit like a paper towel dipped in water. Well, don't ask me why I know the taste of paper towels. The key is taste, taste! Children's shoes that you want to try, you can hurry to Yunnan now! Otherwise, we will have to wait for next year!
Tanglihua: When watching Zhang Yimou's "House of Flying Daggers", the most impressive picture of Sister Cat was that Zhang Ziyi's little sister said to Takeshi Kaneshiro's golden catcher, "Take me to the place where the flowers are blooming and live a windy life. And the picture of the flowering of the pear is more than a brilliant mountain flower, and it is not too much to say that it is a fire tree and a silver flower.
every year from January to April, yes, now! The trunk of Tangli is covered with snow-white flowers, which looks like handfuls of domed umbrellas when seen all over the mountains. The key is that it is delicious. Blanch the pear flowers, er, blanch them again, as if this wild plant should be blanched before eating, then put dried pepper, garlic cloves and bacon to saute the bottom of the pot, pour the pear flowers, add a little watercress and sauerkraut, stir-fry and mix well, and put some chopped green onion on the plate before taking off the pot.
this is definitely a small freshness that kills big fish and big meat.
pomegranate flower: "Auntie, give me a spicy chicken gizzard." "Spicy?" "Spicy, spicy with leeks." "This? Good "looking at a large bowl of" chicken gizzards "in the bowl, this ratio is really conscience. Sister Cat, who just went to college, happily waved a big spoon and put it in her mouth. Oh, where is the bucket? I want to vomit. It's astringent and astringent. It's killing me.
This is the first close contact between Sister Cat and the pomegranate flower that looks like a chicken gizzard after frying. The above picture shows the pomegranate flower that has been fried, isn't it similar to the fried chicken gizzard? Isn't it? So the knowledge point is coming, it is very important to eat pomegranate flowers and remove astringency! ! Be sure to remember to blanch the water, and blanch it several times more. Remember! Remember!
Sister Cat's shadow on food: Immature persimmons and pomegranate flowers that have not been blanched with enough water are definitely in the top five. The frying method is similar to that of Baihua, so I won't go into details. It is worth mentioning that the fried pomegranate flowers really have a feeling of eating meat!
When I was sorting out flowers, Sister Cat made an important discovery-eggs, the darling of the flower world. The data shows that more than 8% of flowers can be cooked with eggs. Get ready, Dangdang, those flowers that can fry eggs are coming!
Rose: Rose is a common flower ingredient. Flower cakes and rose candy in Yunnan are well-known all over the country, but fried eggs with roses are rare in other places. Think about it, fragrant eggs are mixed with the fragrance of roses, and when you put them in your mouth, your happiness will overflow.
jasmine: it is fragrant and white, and it tastes fragrant and delicious.
broom: also called purple broom, it is named "broom" because it has a slightly sharp end and two petals on the side, and it is golden in color, especially like a flying bird.
leek flower: leek flower is a flower that everyone in the world will eat. How can Yunnan people who love food not know it?
pearl flower: pearl flower is a deciduous Rosaceae shrub, also known as snow willow and Spiraea margarita. Why is it called a pearl flower? Anyone with a discerning eye can understand it at a glance. It is so round and full, but it is not a pearl.
Dendrobium flower: Dendrobium is a kind of Chinese herbal medicine which is heated in the field of medicinal materials at present. It benefits the stomach, produces fluid, nourishes yin and clears heat. Has a good relieve function for symptoms such as yin injury, body fluid deficiency, dry mouth, polydipsia, anorexia, retch, asthenic heat after illness, blurred vision and that like. Dendrobium is elegant, exquisite and lovely, bright in color and fragrant in smell. It is known as one of the "four ornamental foreign flowers", and the most important thing is that it can be eaten!
wisteria: Sister Cat especially likes wisteria, especially the wisteria in the park promenade. Every year in the flower season, the breeze blows, which is simply beautiful. The point is that it can eat. You can eat and watch, wisteria, wisteria, how can you be so good?
Sophora japonica: Sophora japonica should be familiar to everyone. Sophora japonica honey is also a kind of honey with high cost performance, and fried Sophora japonica is also a rare natural food.
dandelion: the reason why dandelion was selected is very simple. It can be used as medicine, and it is a piece of cake when it is used as a dish.
wild ginger flower: the wild ginger flower is beautiful in appearance and fragrant in taste. It is definitely an elegant corner when planted in a small yard. And its bud, here, is this,
this is a rare green and healthy edible vegetable.
Aloe flower: Aloe is also quite powerful. Sister Cat has seen a person with big bubbles scalded by hot oil. After rubbing it with aloe, the bubbles miraculously became smaller after half an hour. Taking aloe orally is also a delicious dish. Alas, it is beside the point. Speaking of Aloe flower, this string of small flowers can also enter the dining room.
Epiphyllum: It's rare to see a flash in the pan, but we can eat it. We can't feel the beauty of flowers. Delicious food is also a kind of enjoyment. Haha, when we meet people in Yunnan, we should really feel that we can't hide from the first day but the fifteenth.
Flos puerariae lobatae: Flos puerariae lobatae is a kind of flower with the effects of relieving hangover, invigorating spleen and stopping bleeding. If you drink too much, you'll feel refreshed immediately after soaking in one or two flowers of pueraria lobata and decocting in water. Such a great flower, wouldn't it be a pity not to fry a dish?
Sophora alopecuroides: Sophora alopecuroides is not only a rare delicacy, but also a purely natural medicine. In the dry early spring, boiling it into herbal tea has an excellent effect of eliminating heat and diminishing inflammation; You can also make dried flowers into medicinal pillows, which are of good value for lowering fire and blood pressure.
Coriaria flower: Coriaria is a common name for mulberry in Yunnan, and Coriaria flower is the immature state of mulberry fruit. Immature mulberries taste a little sour, and as a dish, they are naturally quite appetizing and refreshing.
Plantago: There is a saying in Yunnan: Yunnan is full of treasures, and you can sit on three herbs with one buttock. Plantain should be the most common herb. If you get a toothache and get angry, pull out a few plantain plants, soak them in a pot of boiling water and drink them, and the fire will disappear immediately. Following the principle that medicine is a dish, plantain can also be used as a dish.
Buddleja: Look at the round shape of this flower, is it very similar to the big eyes of goldfish? So, it is not difficult to guess the origin of the name
Moringa oleifera: Moringa oleifera is an excellent honey source plant with strong floral fragrance. It contains a variety of amino acids and minerals, which has a good nourishing effect on human body, can promote body metabolism, improve body immunity, and prevent obesity.
frangipani: frangipani is very cute in appearance, so it is called frangipani because its petals are yellow and white. The smell of falling plumeria smells like milk. After drying in the sun, it can be used as a blind Chinese medicine, which can clear away heat and relieve summer heat, moisten the lungs and throat to treat sore throat and other diseases < P > Well, students, the knowledge is coming. What if you really can't cook "flower" dishes? Scrambled eggs!
what if you can't cook with your hands? Scrambled eggs! If eggs can't be scrambled, please accept Sister Cat's dirty eyes for 1 times! All the flowers listed above can be scrambled eggs! Knowledge points, students, remember them quickly with a small notebook!
Actually, many flowers don't have to be cooked with a lot of ingredients. As soon as the minced oil, salt and garlic are fragrant, and the flowers are fried, the taste is enough to make people want to stop. For example, they:
pumpkin flowers: Peel the stalk of pumpkin flowers, remove the surface of the receptacle, remove the core of the flower, and the rest is the edible part. Pumpkin flowers contains a lot of carotene, which has a good auxiliary effect on cancer prevention.
rape flower
cabbage flower
bitter vegetable flower
loofah flower
taro flower: taro is often eaten by everyone, which shows that taro flower is also very delicious.
Unlike other flowers, taro flower needs to be soaked in boiling water before frying. This time it is not astringent, but hemp. If it is not handled well, its mouth will be different from that of other flowers.
The flowers of these vegetables are all favorite dishes of Yunnan people, and sometimes they can even give up harvesting fruits just to eat flowers. Yes, they are so willful! So it shows how attractive this flower food is.
Let's talk about two well-known
day lilies: I don't need to say more about this. People all over the country know it, let alone Yunnan people who are famous for their food. How can we not know it? Of course we have to eat it.
Chrysanthemum: People all over the country use chrysanthemum to soak in water to reduce fire. In Yunnan, it is a dish.
You have never eaten Yunnan Chrysanthemum Cross-Bridge Rice Noodles in Yunnan, so you really came for nothing.
Finally, there are two powerful
dyeing flowers: this is a unique food pigment for ethnic minorities in Yunnan.
The glutinous rice steamed with it is golden and attractive. Besides the aroma of glutinous rice, it also has a faint scent of grass. This is a dish of Dai family that I love very much, and I really like the fresh and non-sticky taste.
fireworks flower: it is also called "Ba Flower" in some places in Yunnan, but Sister Cat often picked it when she was a child, blowing air as a fireworks to scare people. What needs to be declared is that this is not the kind of firecrackers found on Baidu! What's the specific name? Sister Cat has been searching for a long time, but she can't find the official name. It was taken by Sister Cat's mother specially at the food stall (only mother is good in the world), but what is certain is that it can be eaten! And you can buy it at food stalls in Yunnan. Well, just refer to the cooking techniques of Baihua. Students who want to know what it tastes like suggest that you can fly to have a taste now. Many potherbs are available in small restaurants. Now is a good time to eat flowers. Don't wait, or you will have to wait for next year.
I have worked so hard to vomit blood to sort out so much. I believe everyone can see Sister Cat's sincerity in collecting delicious food for everyone! I will certainly continue to work hard. . . Uh ... . Eat hard and try to collect more delicious food in the world for everyone.
I know the world with my taste buds and measure the world with my steps. I'm a crouching cat sister. I look forward to your continued attention!
Is life convenient?
