Chaoshan’s famous side dish---Ma Ye

Hemp leaves are the leaves of a unique kind of kenaf in Chaoshan. In the past, they were not eaten because Chaoshan people had to wait for the kenaf to grow and use the kenaf skin to weave ropes. Now no one makes ropes, so this hemp leaves are on people's dining tables. The top leaves of kenaf are picked and eaten when the kenaf is still very young. Therefore, this kind of kenaf will never grow large and cannot be made into ropes. However, the hemp leaves that are served on the dining table are rare and delicious. The hemp leaves need to be soaked in water to remove the astringent taste. I remember when I was a child, adults used home-pickled pickles to boil them first. There is no pickle water now, so they just use water and salt. It is a bit salty when stir-fried, but it is perfect for serving as porridge. It tastes a bit like sweet potato leaves and is a bit slippery after chewing. It is very healthy. Moreover, in the past, there was only kenaf, but now, there are white and green hemp. Three types. My favorite is kenaf, which is fragrant and sweet. It's a pity that it would be nice to be able to buy this kind of white hemp in Guangzhou. It’s also very expensive. 12 yuan per pound. It looks like a lot, but when done, very little is left. Shrunk. Ha.

Stir-fried sesame leaves with bean paste: prevent heatstroke and cool down on the dining table

Today, as soon as the rain stopped, the weather became hot again. Our little pig is sick again. Traditional Chinese medicine says that in summer, the diet should be light and proper food should be taken to prevent heatstroke and cool down. Fresh winter melon rind was also specially added to the prescription. After going to the pharmacy and the market, I saw fresh hemp leaves while buying winter melon, so I took a handful home. This hemp leaf is usually taken from the young leaves of jute or kenaf, which can help digest food and appetite, clear away heat and relieve heat. On the summer table, sesame leaves can be added to various dishes, but the most common one with Chaoshan characteristics is seasoned with bean paste and stir-fried. Fresh hemp leaves are slightly astringent and need to be boiled with water before consumption. The processed sesame leaves are stir-fried with some minced garlic and bean paste. It is sweet and delicious, fragrant and refreshing. It is a good choice for rice and porridge.
