Those who eat the pot side vegetables happily

A friend wrote about Yushan mushroom oil noodles on Weibo. "Mushroom noodles, originally a vegetarian dish eaten by monks at Changshu Xingfu Temple, were later opened to the public and became famous all over the world. Mushroom refers to a wild edible mushroom that grows from the roots of pine trees on Mount Yu. There is a special umami taste when eaten. "I also had a bowl of delicious vegetarian noodles at Guangfu Temple in Wuxi. There are shiitake mushrooms, bamboo shoots, gluten and fungus in the noodles, and a little clear vegetarian oil and a few white sesame seeds floating on the noodle soup. The noodles are made into a nice crucian carp back, and the entrance is smooth and smooth. Although it is vegan, it tastes mellow.

There is a vegetarian restaurant near Isetan in Meilong Town, Nanjing West Road, Shanghai, where you can eat with vegetarian friends. The imitation meat dishes in the restaurant are quite exquisite. The fat and lean meat of Dongpo meat are very realistic, and the black pepper steak is really a bit of meat fiber. The chicken nuggets in the chestnut chicken nuggets are hardly visible as soy products. However, the calories of imitation meat dishes are not low, and the deep processing of vegetarian dishes without frying is not only not easy to taste, but also difficult to achieve the effect of fake and real. The result is greasy. In my opinion, the vegetarian squirrel mandarin fish is not really a head, and I would rather eat a plate of assorted vegetables with a umami taste hanging from the vegetarian broth.

I have a friend who eats vegetarian food all year round. She said she used to love fish the most, but later became a staunch vegetarian, using a separate set of pots and utensils at home. I used to go to her shop for tea. Strange to say, she has not learned tea art, but the tea leaves she found and the tea she brewed are very good. Among the people I know, in addition to those who eat vegans, there are also people who eat "pot edge vegetarians". They don't have to go to a vegetarian restaurant when they eat out, and there is no special taboo when they have dinner with friends, and they can choose non-meat foods to eat in a mix of meat and vegetarian dishes. In Hokkien, "kale" is pronounced much like "basket". I remember an elder who once told me the origin of this name, she said that kale is originally wild vegetables, there is a monk in the wilderness with passers-by to make a fire to cook, the only pot is cooked meat, he put the kale in the basket hanging above the pot, borrow a little heat to steam the kale. This is the origin of the "basket dish". I have not examined the authenticity of this legend, but I like this story very much. In real life, those who eat the side of the pot with ease, like this monk who follows sentient beings, keep their bottom line, but do not be harsh on others. Such a solid and gentle and rigid and soft quality is really rare. (Dai Rong)
