Stir-fried Malantou with soaked cowpeas
Overview
Some time ago, I saw a farmer's uncle selling this kind of wild vegetable at the market. I didn't know what it was called at the time, so I asked my uncle, and he said it was the local name in Zhejiang. I still didn't know what it was, so I didn't buy it until I looked at the recipe and accidentally discovered that it was a spring wild vegetable. Its scientific name is Malantou, and it has rich flavor. Regarding nutritional value, I was shopping at Auchan that day and happened to come across a spring wild vegetable section. There were so many shepherd’s purses, bitter chrysanthemums, and purslane. Unfortunately, only the brand names were left, and the only vegetables were Malantou, so I bought some back. I remember that a grandma asked me what it was, and I told her carefully. I felt so accomplished at the time! Hehe, who says you are young and inexperienced? At least I am good at eating this piece because it tastes delicious! Haha, I bought it later and didn’t know how to eat it. After checking, it is basically used to make pancakes or salads. I had an idea and paired it with my soaked cowpeas. The taste is surprisingly delicious, at least it goes well with rice
