Speaking of Gan cuisine, people may not know much about it. After all, it is not among the eight major cuisines. However, when it comes to authentic Jiangxi New Year food, it is also mouth-watering and unforgettable. The first thing that came on stage was Jiangxi’s special dish—fried bacon with artemisia arborescens.

There is a proverb in Jiangxi, "The grass of Poyang Lake is the treasure of Nanchang people." This grass is Artemisia annua. Almost all Jiangxi restaurants across the country have to prove their authentic taste. The recipe cannot be without "fried bacon with artemisia arborescens", otherwise it cannot be called a Jiangxi restaurant at all. Of course, Jiangxi restaurants put "fried bacon with artemisia and wormwood" in the most conspicuous position on the menu. "Stir-fried bacon with Artemisia arborescens" has become a representative food of Jiangxi people.

People in Jiangxi have been eating Artemisia truncatula for more than a thousand years, and everyone from children to the elderly love to eat it. There is a dialect TV series in Jiangxi called "Thousands of Families in Songbai Lane". The theme song is "Stir-fried Bacon with Artemisia Arugula" (sung in Nanchang dialect). Looking at the lyrics, you can see how popular this delicacy is: ""Xiaxiliyo?" Waiting for death! (What to eat? So tempting!).

Artemisia is a wild medicinal herb. This weed is widespread in Poyang Lake. I don't know who is the first person to dare to eat "crab". He introduced this grass to the tables of Nanchang people and turned it into delicious food, becoming a local specialty of Nanchang. It is said that Artemisia annua contains vitamins and carotene and is a special green food without pollution. Rich in nutrients. It is also a natural skin care food. Therefore, when relatives and friends come to get together, Nanchang people go to the farmer's market and spend a few yuan to buy bacon and mugwort. When stir-fried over high fire, the green ones are mugwort, the red ones are bacon, and with the chive seasoning, they are delicious, fragrant, and rich in flavor and color. It is a good dish to drink beer in summer and liquor in winter. Take a small bowl of white rice, stir-fried bacon with wormwood, which is red, green, yellow and white. The color is very appetizing. Only when you chew and swallow slowly can you taste the unique taste.
