Nanchang's signature dish that must not be missed!
We have a saying here: "The grass of Poyang Lake is the treasure of Nanchang people." This "grass of Poyang Lake" is Artemisia quinoa (Artemisia argensis). It is not ordinary grass, but a delicacy on the dining table of our Nanchang people.! It is said that it is a famous dish invented by Zhu Yuanzhang!
Artemisia quinoa is not available all year round. Generally, artificially planted Artemisia quinoa is available on the market in December, and wild Artemisia quinoa is not available until March. Nowadays, many people like to eat artificially grown Artemisia quinoa because the taste of wild Artemisia quinoa is relatively strong and many people can't stand it.

Steps for stir-fried bacon with artemisia quinoa

1
Select Artemisia quinoa into sections and wash them for later use.
2
Cut off the head of the leeks, place it with the Artemisia quinoa, and prepare to be put into the pot at the same time.
3
Leek leaves are easier to cook than Artemisia quinoa and leek tops, so put them later and put a separate basket.
4
Slice bacon thinly and set aside. (If you are afraid that the bacon will be too salty, soak it in warm water for 5 minutes)
5
Chop the millet peppers, and the amount depends on your personal endurance, or you don't need to add them. However, the authentic method must add peppers. I usually just grab a handful and throw them in.
6
Heat the oil and fry the bacon first.
7
When the fat meat of the bacon becomes transparent, add Artemisia quinoa, chives, and millet peppers, and stir fry well.
8
Stir fry Artemisia quinoa slightly and it feels a little wilted. You can put the leek leaves on the leaves. The interval should not be long. The vegetables are still easy to ripen.
9
When the leek leaves are broken, you can add a little salt, chicken essence and a proper amount of soy sauce, and then you can be served.
