When it comes to the famous snacks in your hometown, those foodies will definitely come here with all their treasures. Such as Luoning steamed pork, Zhongyuan braised noodles, spicy and sour beef, Lao Guo carrot, jelly dumplings, meat buns, starched noodles, etc., there must be a long list, but there is also one snack, although it is inconspicuous But it is very special, that is, the vegetable corner in glutinous rice soup.
There are several restaurants in the county that specialize in serving glutinous rice soup. Hey! There are people who really like this food and go to great lengths to eat. They would rather run a few extra miles just to eat this glutinous rice soup with vegetables. why? Because this thing is easy to say but not easy to do. You need to go to the countryside to dig up wild vegetables, select them, wash them, season them, and package them by hand. Then boil a large pot of glutinous rice soup to cook the squid. If you cook it too much, it will stick to it, and if it takes too long, it will rot. This requires high heat. Modern people are busy with work and have a tense pace of life, which makes it even more difficult to cook and eat by yourself.
But I was lucky enough to catch up today. At noon, I went to my wife’s school to deliver things and eat. When I got there, I saw an empty pot and a cold stove. Just as I was wondering, I heard the loud and enthusiastic voice of Teacher Qu next door: “You’re here. Watch out. Come and eat the corner of the vegetable.” "I hurriedly walked over and took a look, oh! It was such a lively scene. I saw my wife, wearing a large protective clothing for cooking, and several colleagues gathered around and were busy making cabbage corners. There was a pot full of bright green mustard stuffing on the table, with the edges already wrapped. There is a large bamboo plate with a dish corner that looks like a crescent moon. In the corridor upstairs, Teacher Qu is cooking a pot of glutinous rice soup on a large stove with a high fire. After a while, the corner of the dish came out of the pot. It was steaming and white waves rolled. It was so tempting! Finally cooked, put it in a big bowl, take a small bite, wow! Mouth full of fragrance. After a while, the bowl bottomed out. I wiped the corners of my mouth with my hand with satisfaction, and couldn't help but praise: "It's delicious, it's delicious!" Everyone was very happy when they heard the praise. It turns out that they dug mustard greens yesterday, and today at noon, they took advantage of their break to eat fresh mustard greens together.
In fact, the vegetables in the glutinous rice soup corner can have a variety of ingredients. Whether it is cabbage, radish, leek, spinach, or rapeseed grown in the vegetable field, or gray cabbage, amaranth, shepherd's purse, mustard greens, and root vegetables dug in the field, all can be used for stuffing. I remember that my family had financial difficulties before, so we never went to the market to buy food. My mother will make full use of the vegetables grown in the vegetable field and will never waste any. When the radishes grow in autumn, they are pulled out, cut head to head, and buried in the cellar to eat during the New Year. Then the bright green radish tassels are washed and soaked in a vat to ferment. In winter, they are taken out from the biting water and chopped into pieces. , add salt (it’s best to add a few drops of oil), then wrap it into cabbage sticks and cook it in corn grits soup for everyone to eat. It’s a little sour, a little gluteny, and a little fragrant. This can be considered a home-cooked delicacy at that time. . Later, when the conditions improved, my mother still liked to make various vegetable corners and eat them. Adding some ground sesame oil and various seasonings, it was naturally more delicious.
This habit has also deeply affected us. Although our sisters now live in the city, my sister and my wife also like to eat cabbage corners. My sister would sometimes invite us to try it out when she made a side dish. I remember once riding a bicycle to take my wife to see a doctor. When I came back and passed a small river, I saw a lot of green water mustard growing by the river. I couldn't help but be moved by its freshness, so the disease healed, and they all jumped into the water to dig up Mustard comes. I dug out a big plastic bag and took it home to eat in the cabbage corner. I still remember the delicious taste.
In the days when melons and vegetables were only half a year's food, glutinous rice noodles were just a home-cooked meal to fill the stomach. However, now, it has long become a delicacy on the dining tables of people in the city. There is a poem that says, "The moon crescents over a plate, and the steaming cauldron turns over. A delicious dish in Yongning City, glutinous rice soup and vegetables come out of the mountains."
"Spring is here, and the mountains and fields are full of wild vegetables, my friend! Don't you want to try this natural and healthy green food?
