When I went back to my hometown to burn paper during the Qingming Festival, my aunt packed some alfalfa sprouts and asked me to take them back to cook. Growing up, my mother always steamed alfalfa steamed buns for us at this time every spring, and she didn’t stop until the alfalfa was too old to be eaten. In my memory, my mother’s steamed alfalfa steamed buns were particularly delicious. When you bite into them, they are soft and filling. My mother once told me that when steaming vegetable buns, you must add some salt and ginger powder, so that the steamed vegetable buns will have more flavor and be more delicious. Especially after the hot steamed buns are taken out of the pot, smash the scallions and chili peppers and mix them together. The steaming steamed buns are filled with green onions and peppers. You will make a slurping sound in your mouth while eating. , that delicious taste is really difficult to describe in words.

In the afternoon, I also steamed it once, but I always felt that it was not as delicious as what my mother made. However, this is indeed a unique flavor of spring.
