Chinese take eating to the extreme, and toon is an example. I don't even know if it's appropriate to call toon a vegetable, but if it does, it must be the springiest and most legendary vegetable in northern China. Whether the "toon" of the toon is related to the "spring", I have not researched, but I only know that after a short period of time, when the buds grow old and become leaves, spring has passed in a hurry.
When I was a child in the countryside, there were three things that impressed me the most: elm money, toon, and acacia flowers, all of which were related to eating. In China in the 80s, the material was still relatively poor, these are the snacks in the mouths of the friends, cheap and delicious, because of the strong seasonality, can only be eaten for a few days, so it is more and more cherished.
Later, with the improvement of living conditions, the toon on the tree is not willing to pick down and eat, now has already become a family to live in the city, but the toon has become a precious vegetable, a few days ago I went to the supermarket and saw that there was a sale of toon, I remembered the childhood that has been unable to go back to the home, the following to share with you 6 kinds of toon practice, let's take a look.

After blanching, immediately remove the toon buds and soak them in cold water to allow them to cool down quickly and maintain a crisp and tender texture.
