First of all, we will popularize the concept of leek flowers. When the leeks grow old, there will be buds like daisies on the top. Of course, if it is a leek that blooms, don’t eat it. We usually eat the leek flowers that are still in the bud state.
leek flowers are eaten with the stems, so leek flowers are generally a little harder than leeks, and they are still grown one by one, unlike leeks, where there are many leeks on one.
The leeks are on the market earlier than the leek flowers. To be honest, our leeks are eaten less. Generally, my mother will make garlic-yellow fried eggs, leeks fried eggs, , and leek flowers fried eggs, but leeks are basically not allowed to buy them.
seems to be in November last year. I still remember that the price of leek flowers was quite expensive at that time. My mother bought some leek flowers and went home. Of course, it was the kind of leeks that had not bloomed yet. Then, she went to visit her neighbor's house.
When I was about to cook in the afternoon, my mother didn't reply, so my wife and I were about to take over. She picked and washed vegetables. After she was ready, I came to the kitchen to cook. The dishes that day had a fried egg with leek flowers that was very relevant to today's topic.
But my wife was responsible for picking and washing. She discarded all the buds on the leek flowers, leaving all the hard stems. So, the plate of leek flowers that I fried that day, and the stems of the leek flowers were all left on the plate, and I just finished eating the eggs.
After dinner that day, my parents went home. It turned out that they were going to attend the dinner party of old colleagues. At this time, my wife and I were finished dinner. The bowls and chopsticks on the table were not cleaned up yet. So my parents looked at the leftover empty plates between us and said curiously: What are you eating for dinner?
My wife said: It's relatively simple, a plate of fried eggs with leek flowers, a plate of oyster sauce and lettuce , and a plate of fried shredded pork with green peppers.
My dad’s first reaction was, why didn’t he simmer rib soup ? Didn’t your mom buy lotus root and pork spine today?
Before my wife could reply to my dad’s words, my mom said: You went to buy leeks again. Didn’t you buy leeks in the afternoon?
My wife said that the rest of this plate is.
At this time, my dad told my wife: Chive flowers should be eaten with tenderer stems and chive flowers on them.
Because today's topic: "September leek Buddha opens his mouth"! What is the best leek with? It reminds me of the embarrassing thing about my wife not eating leek flowers back then. Let me tell you how to cook the best leeks in this season?
You can also leave a message in the comment area to express your opinion? Do you like to eat leeks? How do you do it at home?
January and June leeks are stinking to death, September leeks Buddha speaks, do you know what it means?
I would like to explain to you the meaning of leeks stinking dogs in June. June is summer, and there is a lot of rain at this time. The roots of leeks are easily soaked in water and are prone to rot. After rotting, they will smell. This smell is unpleasant, and even dogs have to take a detour when they smell it.
. September leek "Buddha" has some exaggerated ingredients, but the key is to express that the leeks in this season are particularly delicious, because the cool weather leeks are of great quality, taste great, and have richer nutrition.

3. Flower leeks are specially used to harvest the leek flower sprouts for us to eat. The leaves are short and the texture is rough and hard. They are mostly cultivated in Lanzhou City, Gansu Province, our country. There are also sporadic introductions in Shandong. The leaves and leaf sheaths are relatively hard, and the leaves are not edible. They are mainly cabbage sprouts, with excellent quality and low temperature resistance.
