This dish is nutritious, delicious, and easy to eat, but young people don't recognize it, but it carries countless childhood memories.
With the increasing living standards, people increasingly like green and natural foods, so many wild vegetables have become popular. Every spring, many vegetables and fruits are launched, including many wild vegetables, and 'Alfalfa' is one of them.
The name of alfalfa is different in various regions, Shanghai people call it 'Grass Head', Jiangsu people call it 'Golden Flower', Zhejiang people call it 'Grass Seed', although alfalfa is not common in a year, it is rich in nutrition. Alfalfa contains the most vitamins K, its content is higher than all vegetables. Other vitamins C, B are also quite abundant.
In today's society, many young people don't recognize alfalfa, they might think it's just a grass and cannot be eaten. But for those in the 70s and 80s, or even older, alfalfa is not only delicious but also carries beautiful childhood memories.
I remember when I was a child, every spring in March, a lot of alfalfa would grow in the fields, and every family would take a large bamboo basket to pick alfalfa. Adults would squat on the ground, while picking alfalfa, chatting and sharing family news, and children would play around, sometimes curious, they would imitate adults picking alfalfa, recalling that time was carefree and everything looked so beautiful.
Gradually, we all grew up, and the days of picking alfalfa with our families are gone forever. When alfalfa matures in the spring, we will always remember those beautiful days.For alfalfa, we eat not only its deliciousness, but also miss the beautiful memories of the past.
There are many ways to make alfalfa, it can be eaten cold or steamed with flour, but I think it's best to wrap dumplings. The fragrance of alfalfa, combined with the tenderness of eggs, is endless.
Alfalfa Dumplings
Step 1, wash the alfalfa clean with water, then blanch it in boiling water for 30 seconds, and take it out to squeeze out the water. Beat 3 eggs and stir-fry into egg fragments.
Step 2, after squeezing the alfalfa dry, cut it into small pieces and put it into a bowl, then add egg fragments, dried shrimp, salt, soy sauce, five-spice powder, and edible oil to mix well.
Step 3, prepare the dumpling wrappers, roll the dumpling wrappers thin and round, then wrap them with alfalfa filling.
Step 4, brush oil in a flat pan, after the oil is hot, put the dumplings in, medium heat slow fry, fry until the two sides of the dumplings are golden yellow, and the dumpling skin becomes transparent, you can take it out.
Alfalfa dumplings are ready, my daughter couldn't wait to eat one, she said, 'Mom, this dish is so delicious, I've never eaten it before' I said, 'This is alfalfa!' My daughter was confused and said, 'I don't know, I've never seen it' Hearing this, I suddenly remembered the scene of picking alfalfa as a child, so I said to my daughter, 'Next spring, our whole family will return to our hometown to pick alfalfa with Grandpa and Grandma......'
