The common plantains in the park on Taiwan Road are similar to the plantains commonly seen in North America and Europe's suburbs. They are plants of plantains, and their appearance characteristics are almost exactly the same. In my eyes, it is really difficult to tell who is Adulya and who is local!
Fortunately, no matter in Asia or Europe and the United States, we can now easily buy processed foods for plantains. Among them, the seed shells of plantain seeds have become popular products in the health food shelf area because they contain a high proportion of plant fiber. Many brands have labeled organic certifications on the list, and have even become popular with oral capsules, which makes me more at ease to buy without having to pick the weeds in the yard for experience.
The first time I met the plantain was heard from an old couple picking the plantain on the grassland of a university campus. I also remember that the plantains were full of treasures and they made them into tea with freshly picked plantains. There are fewer cars and fewer dyes in the campus. Every time they go for a walk in a nearby campus, they will hand in some hand and take them home. They said that the tender leaves of plantain and fresh long-sized styles can be eaten as vegetables. The leaves should be blanched in hot water before cooking to remove the slight bitterness. If the amount of the sucking is large at a time, you can dry it first. When it is needed, just like boiling herbal tea, add water and boil it.
Since being pointed out by them, I suddenly realized that the plantains are almost always there, they like to grow in places with more breezes, tree tiles or half-day sunshine. There is no need to plant or fertilize, just like all weeds, the spring wind blows and grows again. Plantain has many alias, including "Cow-eared Grass". During the Western Han Dynasty, soldiers and horses in the army were in great pain due to hematuria. One of the soldiers discovered that horses had eaten grass that looked like cow-eared grass on the ground, no longer urinated blood, and regained their vitality, and reported to the chief officer. Because the grass like a cow's ear grows in front of the car, it is called a plantain.
Summer is the peak season for plantains, and I also started to taste this summer. The shell of plantain seeds contains a high amount of natural plant gel and does not contain malformed quality. When making white cauliflower vegetarian meat puffs, adding a little plantain seed powder can not only absorb more moisture and make the cooking process more efficient, but also stick the ingredients cut into fine powder together to create a viscous texture like when making meatballs and meat puffs. However, to achieve a natural taste that is a little sticky but not too sticky, you need to make several more elastic adjustments to the portion and proportion.
With a satisfied experience in making vegetarian meat puffs, I added the plantain seed powder I bought from a health food store to cooked rice slices. In order to increase the fiber intake, it is more to make the rice slices smoother and more delicious.
During this summer vacation, the organic vegetable farmer, Ah Tombo would bring the organic high-alcohol produced in Simakussheng down the mountain every week, and I was lucky enough to get a few. Seeing the sweet, crispy and fresh Gaoli, I couldn't help but want to wrap some Gaoli vegetables and vegetables to eat. When wrapping vegetables with water, the most difficult thing is to pool the food into the rind, because the vegetable ingredients lack stickiness and glue. Although using potato flour, tree potato flour, corn flour, and sweet potato flour as thickeners can also achieve the purpose, it is probably a big increase in the heat brought by the flour, and adding too much will also affect the taste.
I put two spoons of plantain seed powder into the mixed high-alcohol, husband, and white beans. I placed it a little to make it absorb water. It feels much easier when I put it in water than usual. The water after cooking has a very smooth taste, and the texture is also condensed into a group, so it will not spread easily. However, there is one good or two good, which increases stickiness and slippage, and the crisp and refreshing texture of the high-quality vegetables has been reduced. The next time I make a vegetable dish, I will continue to taste until I find the portion just right for the plantain seed powder I am satisfied with.
