In the eyes of outsiders, this may be a wonderful dish, but in the eyes of Sichuanese, it is an out-and-out delicacy. I've been eating since I was a child and I've always wanted to leave my hometown. Just as everyone has a hometown stomach and China people can't get used to eating French fries hamburgers abroad, Sichuan people are also very persistent about these kinds of small dishes in their hometown. Let's take a look at these Sichuan vegetables that look great but taste good.
1, ear root
First of all, I talked about the root of the broken ear, that is, Houttuynia cordata Thunb. Because everyone should have heard the name of the broken ear root, and it will not be strange when you see it. This plant is very special and gives off an unusual smell. Some people think it smells like fish, so they call it Houttuynia cordata, which is actually the same as coriander that most people like to eat. Friends in Sichuan like to cook cold dishes with broken ears, and some of them are directly used to rinse hot pot, which tastes great.
2. Horse
Is the name Mashan special? In fact, this is the dialect name of purslane in Sichuan, so at first glance, everyone is very strange. Mahans is a kind of wild vegetable, which can be seen everywhere in the fields, so Sichuanese never worry about not having Mahans to eat. Moreover, when eating, you should choose the fat and tender Mahans. Too thin, too hard to eat and tasteless. Generally, it is cooked after picking and made into cold salad, which tastes sour and even saves vinegar.
3. Goose flies
Goose nut is a kind of nut that looks like chopped green onion. Foreigners usually pickle nuts and eat them as refreshing side dishes, but Sichuanese usually use them directly for cooking, which makes Sichuan pork very fragrant. You might as well buy some fresh green onions and try cooking at home. It tastes sweet, and has a strong flavor of China onion, which is not as spicy as chopped green onion at all. Goose flying is very popular in Sichuan.
4. Children's dishes
When Gourmet Jun first heard this name, it was the monks in Zhang Er who were really confused. How come there is clay pot rice in Guangdong and Sichuan people eat children's dishes directly? It turns out that the children's dish in Sichuan population is mustard. Because there is a child in the name, it is called children's dish directly. It's a bit bitter to fry vegetables directly. Some people think that eating this way can reduce the fire. Some people stew soup with mustard, which is very delicious and can also be used to make pickles.
5. Pogostemon cablin
Everyone should have used Huoxiang Zhengqi water to relieve the heat, right? That smell is simply maddening. However, Sichuanese like to cook with Pogostemon. Pogostemon cablin looks a bit like perilla, but its leaves are all green and have a unique fragrance. Sichuan also has a famous online celebrity dish-Huoxiang grilled fish, which has a lot of Huoxiang, and it tastes good. The fish absorbed the aroma of agastache rugosa and tasted without any fishy smell.
How many of the above five Sichuan "exotic vegetables" have you eaten? After eating three kinds, you are a man!
