stir-fried bacon with artemisia quinoa
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.
