Stir-fried dried radish with leeks

Overview

In our local Nanyang, Henan, people dry dried radishes in a simple and crude way. In winter, when the radish harvest is abundant, they cut the radishes into slices and dry them in the sun or in a heated room. The dried radishes should be kept dry and ventilated and can be eaten for half a year. However, they need to be placed in the refrigerator during the summer, otherwise insects will grow. Radishes in winter are particularly cheap, costing no more than 30 cents per pound and only a few cents per pound. The cost of drying radishes is also extremely cheap. But dried radish is indeed a good thing. It is delicious when stir-fried with vegetables, meat, eggs, or soup. Among them, vegetarian stir-fry appears very frequently in my family, because there are mostly middle-aged and elderly people in the family, and it is healthier to eat more vegetarian food. The vegetarian fried dried radish not only tastes like meat, but also tastes like spring bamboo shoots and lotus root, which is really great.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Prepare dried radish. Our local dried radish is made raw and sun-dried. It needs to be cooked when eating. You can directly put the dried radish in the pot and cook it, or you can soak it first and then cook it. There is no other difference except for the different cooking time. For convenience, it is better to do the soaking and boiling steps in advance.

   

2. 2 Cut the dried radish into thick shreds, cut the leeks into sections, and prepare dried chili peppers and dried Sichuan peppercorns.

   

3. 3 Preheat the wok and pour oil. When the oil is too hot, add the chili and Sichuan peppercorns and stir-fry until fragrant. Then add the dried radish and stir-fry.

   

4. 4 Season with salt and light soy sauce during this period. No other seasonings are needed, and you can still stir-fry very delicious side dishes.

   

5. 5 After the dried radish is fried thoroughly, add the leeks and mix well before serving.

   

6. 6 Leeks in spring are extremely delicious. Just a small handful can be used to add flavor to dried radish, making the delicious taste even more outstanding.
