In the southern region, there is a unique plant growing - Origan, which is not only a delicacy on the southern table, but also a symbol of the emotions and culture of the southerners, however, such a unique flavor of the dish, but there are few traces in the northern land, until I personally tasted a meal of Origan, I finally understood why it is difficult for Origan to enter the north.
The unremarkable appearance of Houttuynia cordata, with its green leaves and rhizomes hidden in the dirt, needs to be carefully excavated to get its true appearance, however, it is this humble rhizome that contains the secret of southern flavor. The rhizome of the root is white and tender, like the first snow in winter, fresh and pure, and when cooked, it usually needs to be stir-fried with other ingredients or served cold to highlight its unique texture and taste.
In terms of cooking, the folded ear root can be described as an all-rounder, it can be cold dressed, stir-fried, and can even be used to stew soup, different cooking methods, can show its unique taste and texture, cold folded ear root, fresh and refreshing, with a trace of coolness, is a good product to cool off in summer; fried folded ear root, it can perfectly integrate its fragrance and spicy taste, making people have an endless aftertaste; and add the folded ear root when stewing soup, it can add a unique fresh fragrance to the soup.
As for the reasons why Folded Ear Root can't go to the north, the editor personally believes that there are the following two points:
Climatic reasons
Folded ear root likes a warm and humid environment, and the north is mostly cold and dry, such a climate difference, so that the growth conditions of the folded ear root in the north is not ideal, the south climate is humid, and there is more rain, very suitable for the growth of the folded ear root, as the saying goes: one side of the water and soil to raise one person, that kind of food becomes very common when it will be accepted by the public, and then open the market, which is why the root of the folded ear can not go into the northern region of the main reason.
Taste differences
In addition, the taste of the folded ear root is also an important reason why it is difficult to spread in the north. The taste of the folded ear root is unique, with a faint fishy smell, this taste may be a unique flavor for southerners, but in the eyes of northerners, it is often difficult to accept, and the taste of northerners is more inclined to be rich and mellow, for this kind of ingredients with fresh and slightly pungent and fishy smell, often stay away, a little difficult to accept.
In addition, differences in cultural background and eating habits are also important reasons why it is difficult for Origan to enter the north. In the south, the root is not only an ingredient, but also a symbol of culture. It carries the emotions and memories of southerners, and is an indispensable delicacy during the Spring Festival. In the north, due to the influence of history, geography and other factors, there is not much understanding and cognition of the unique ingredient of the south. Therefore, on the dining table in the north, the figure of the folded ear root is not common.
Of course, this does not mean that northerners will not be able to appreciate and taste Origan, with the exchange and integration of food cultures, more and more northerners have begun to try and accept this unique ingredient from the south, although the popularity of Origan in the north is still limited, but we can see that more and more people are beginning to pay attention to and understand it.
