Asparagus, it is estimated that many friends are relatively unfamiliar with it, although there is also a bamboo shoot word, but it is not the kind of bamboo shoot in everyone's cognition. It is actually the tender bud of the herb. To put it bluntly, it is a kind of grass, and it has nothing to do with bamboo.
Our country is a big country in asparagus cultivation and also a big export country. The main concentrated production areas are Xuzhou region in Jiangsu and Heze region in Shandong, and Heze area is dominated by Cao County. If you've been to Cao County, you'll see patches of asparagus cultivation.
Asparagus has two forms, although both are young shoots, but divided into unearthed and unexploited. After the excavation sees the sun, it turns green, which is what we can often see in the market. There is also a kind of excavation is not unearthed to be dug out, this time is white, the market is relatively rare, because it is easy to change color and deteriorate when seeing the sun, so it is basically directly made into canned asparagus for export.
The nutritional value of asparagus is very high, not only rich in various vitamins and trace elements, but also rich in a variety of amino acids needed by the human body. Among them, the content of selenium is much higher than that of ordinary vegetables, and it can even be comparable to some seafood such as shellfish and marine fish. Coupled with the fresh texture and taste, it is a delicious ingredient that is rare in this season.
The method of asparagus is very simple, stir-frying or blanching and then cold mixing are the most direct embodiment of the original taste of asparagus. You can even eat it raw. If there is bacon at home, then let's have a bacon stir-fried asparagus, and the two extremely fresh ingredients collide to create a delicious taste that you can't imagine.
The ingredients needed to make this dish are also very simple, except for asparagus and bacon, only cooking wine and salt are enough.
Regarding the treatment of asparagus, if you buy it very fresh, the root can be easily broken with a fingernail, then there is no need to deal with it alone, if the pinching is continuous, it means that the asparagus at the root is older and needs to be eliminated.
After treatment, the asparagus cuts the inclined knife segment or the hob segment.
Bacon cut thin slices, bacon is a good thing, and ham, in a lot of greens or stews to add a little, the effect of freshness is particularly obvious, home often prepared some bacon and ham is a must for every food lover.
With a little oil in the pan, sauté the bacon until fragrant, then drizzle with cooking wine.
The role of cooking wine is to rely on the evaporation of high temperature to take away the miscellaneous taste of ingredients. In fact, many vegetarian dishes in the south will put some cooking wine, or rice wine. The effect of removing miscellaneous flavors and increasing fragrance is obvious.
As for whether you need to add salt to make this dish, it depends on how salty the bacon you use, the general bacon is not very salty, so you need to add salt to the asparagus separately to flavor. If it is cured and salted meat in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, then there is no need to add salt, and its own saltiness is enough.
After sautéing the bacon, pour in the asparagus, stir-fry evenly, and then fry slowly for a while. Asparagus is good to be broken, retaining the crisp and refreshing taste of asparagus.
A dish with local characteristics, not only rich in nutrients, but also satisfying with the taste and taste. If you see a market for sale this season, don't miss it. Or you can also shop online.
