After the package is opened, it smells fragrant and is called "coriander" by merchants in Huguang and Hong Kong. This dried moss has a unique taste and people regard it as a treasure. During the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty (A.D. 1736- 1795), it was presented to the emperor as a "tribute dish".
Features: The dried moss is made by peeling and drying the stems of autumn moss in Yimenji area of Guoyang county, which has the characteristics of fragrance and crispness. Preparation: First, take out a proper amount of dried moss, soak it in warm water for two hours, then cut it into two-fingered pieces, and mix it with dried shrimp, shredded ginger, pepper and salt for salty mixing; Add sugar for sweet mixing. Especially in cold weather, a crisp green cold dish-dried moss-appears on the dining table, which will make people feel spring immediately. Technology: Dry moss should be cut and dried immediately after harvest. Dry cutting is the key to the production of dried moss, and it must go through the processes of defoliation, peeling, slicing and drying. Cutting requirements: the knife should be straight, the thickness and length of the moss should be consistent, and one end of the root should be connected to facilitate drying. Most of the water in the moss slices evaporates and wilts, so it can be put on the market for sale.
