As a rural person, I grew up next to my grandmother, and I was stained with the "poor acid" of the elderly, and all the resources that could be used in life were never wasted. As far as food is concerned, my grandmother, who has experienced the most difficult period, often says: "Now the most ordinary rice and white noodles, when I was a child, I didn't know what it tasted like." Although life is now rich, the frugal character has not changed, and the "scraps" left over from any ingredients in three meals a day can be used as much as possible. The vegetables cut from the cabbage and the leaves broken by the radish can evolve into a different delicacy.
Winter turnip cabbage is not eaten less, and now that spring has arrived, it is time to taste the early. Yesterday went to the market to purchase, saw the usual uncommon "lettuce" root water tender emerald green, simply picked one to take home to make a good meal. Spring is the time when lettuce is listed in large quantities, but in the north it is really not cheap, a pound will cost five yuan, a whole root will cost more than a dozen yuan, fortunately, everyone in the family loves to eat, and the money is worth spending. Take home lettuce stems directly peeled and fried, the remaining lettuce leaves can not be wasted, this is a "treasure", do not throw it again, learn to do this, a plate is not enough to eat.
In fact, lettuce leaves contain more nutrients than lettuce stems, and their appearance is similar to that of oil wheat vegetables, but the taste is more crisp and tender than that of oil wheat vegetables. There are many ways to cook it, but my family only likes to do this, since learning the method of lettuce leaves, my family has never thrown it again, simple mixing, a plate is not enough to eat. Below, the detailed steps to share with friends, at the end of the article there are some cooking tips summarized, if you are interested, you may wish to go to see it together!
