Fairy food, also known as fairy grass, is the same as the grass that everyone has eaten, but the fairy grass in Songxi, northern Fujian is fresher, and it is called fairy tofu in the southwest or middle.
Fairy food belongs to herbal medicine, and the homology of medicine and food is the characteristic of Fujian people's diet. There is indeed a legend about Xiancao: it is said that some people in Fujian collected herbs to treat their mother's heatstroke, and when they woke up, they found the naturally formed Xiancao Xiancao, so they collected Xiancao to treat their mother. It is known as "Cao Xian" because of its magical effect of relieving summer heat.
Xiancao is widely used, which has the functions of clearing away heat and relieving summer heat, reducing fever and benefiting water. Indications: heatstroke, toxic heat, etc. So it is a seasonal dish in essence. Most leafy vegetables are green jelly-like vegetables, some are called Guanyin tofu, and some are called fairy tofu. Whether it is Guanyin or immortal, it embodies its medicinal and therapeutic characteristics. Stalk food is mainly made of fairy grass, bean jelly, fairy grass and other desserts
Cooking fairy dishes is also a troublesome process. My mother is very good at it, and she has only eaten it once or twice since she was a child. First of all, you should pick, wash, smash, use gauze to get juice, and then mix with plant ash juice (my hometown uses some charcoal ash or some branches specially burned to mix with water), and let it stand and solidify, and the green and transparent jelly-like cold dish will be finished. Eating at home is very simple, just add some light soy sauce and pour sesame oil on it.
In the hot summer, a bowl of tender and cold fairy dishes really makes people feel comfortable.
