stir-fried whitebait with leeks
By MazieKessler
Leek is an ancient vegetable originating in our country. As early as the Han Dynasty, my country began to use greenhouses to grow leeks, and leeks began to be produced during the Northern Song Dynasty. Leek is a perennial herb that can be harvested multiple times in a row after planting. Varieties include wide-board and narrow-leaf leeks. Whitebait includes four species: large whitebait, Taihu New Whitebait, Oligodentate Shortnose Whitebait and Reyshey Whitebait, but large whitebait and Taihu New Whitebait are the main ones. It is shaped like a jade substitute, has a delicate body, is white and transparent, has no bones, thorns, and has no fishy smell. It can prepare a variety of delicious dishes and fresh soups. This cuisine is made by cooking whitebait and leeks. After being cooked, the whitebait is white and tender, and the leeks are green and fragrant, delicious and nutritious.
