从《诗经》"谁谓荼苦,其甘如荠"的咏叹,到郑板桥"三冬荠菜偏饶味"的赞叹,荠菜,这株平凡的野菜承载着中国人对时令风物的细腻感知。
From the line, "Who says the potherb is bitter? Its taste is as sweet as that of the shepherd's purse" in The Book of Songs to Zheng Banqiao’s praise, "Shepherd's purse reaches its peak flavor in the cold of winter," this humble wild vegetable embodies the Chinese appreciation for seasonal delicacies.
新鲜荠菜带有独特的清冽香气,入口微苦后回甘,叶脉间藏着山野的灵气。苏州人将荠菜碎拌入猪肉馅,包成翡翠色的馄饨,让植物的清新与肉汁的醇厚交织。
Fresh shepherd’s purse boasts a distinct fragrance—slightly bitter at first, it transforms into a sweet aftertaste, with hints of the wild hidden within its veins. In Suzhou, the vegetable is often finely chopped and added to pork filling, wrapped in delicate wontons that pair the plant's fresh essence with the richness of the savory stuffing.
这种时令野菜的搭配哲学讲究"以素托素",与嫩豆腐同煮能凸显其清雅,和春笋合炒可倍增鲜脆。老茶客们偏爱凉拌荠菜,只需淋上香醋麻油,便是佐茶的绝佳小食。
This philosophy of pairing seasonal wild vegetables emphasizes complementing simplicity with simplicity, where light, plant-based ingredients enhance each other’s natural flavors. When cooked with tender tofu, it brings out the delicate elegance of the dish, while stir-frying with spring bamboo shoots boosts its fresh, crisp texture. For tea enthusiasts, cold shepherd's purse is a popular choice. Simply drizzled with balsamic vinegar and sesame oil, it makes an exquisite accompaniment to tea.
