Malantou Pork Bone Soup
Overview
Malantou is a wild vegetable with the same name as shepherd's purse. It is a wild vegetable that urban and rural residents are familiar with and loves to eat. Some people also call it field chrysanthemum. It has rhizomes, thin leaves, sparse teeth or feathery cracks, and small lavender flowers. It grows beside ditches and roads, and grows better in moist depressions. The tender stems and leaves of Malantou can be eaten cold, stir-fried, stuffed or made into soup. Not only are they delicious, but they also have certain therapeutic effects. Chinese medicine practitioners of the past dynasties believe that Malantou has the effects of clearing away heat and stopping dysentery, reducing inflammation and detoxifying. Today I will use it to make a soup, using pig trotter ring bones and malan head. It is considered a lazy dish, the meat and vegetable soup is cooked in one pot, and it is a complete meal when paired with rice.
