Speaking of what dishes are only available in the summer? In fact, some time ago, I have already shared two, one is fresh lotus seeds, and the other is purslane, which grows more and more luxuriantly the hotter the day. This third type is even more familiar to everyone, especially friends in rural areas.
This dish is the "sweet potato leaf" with the title of "ginseng on the ground"! It is the "longevity dish" in the mouth of the ancestors, but it is very cheap, so cheap that the boss will let you grab a handful and give a dollar, after all, this thing is everywhere in the countryside.
When we were children, we used to eat it, but we gradually forgot about it. Nowadays, people are more interested in eating more naturally, and it seems that this sweet potato leaf has re-entered the table, rich in vitamins, protein, carotene, calcium, potassium and dietary fiber, which can strengthen immunity and promote digestion. At the same time, the taste is fragrant and suitable for stir-frying and cold dressing, but we seem to prefer to eat it steamed, and knead it into steamed buns or multigrain wowotou, which has better taste and nutrition.
Not much to say, let's use sweet potato leaves to present you with a way to eat a multigrain nest, mix and steam, a mouthful of endless aftertaste, the more you chew, the more fragrant. It doesn't look very good, but it's very healthy and hungry, please see the following breakdown for detailed steps:
——Sweet potato leaf cereals nest head——
Ingredients: a handful of sweet potato leaves, an appropriate amount of multigrain noodles, half a carrot, sugar or salt, water
Step 1: Prepare a handful of sweet potato leaves, wash them and tear off a layer of the old skin of the sweet potato stalks, and then chop them directly for later use. Today I mainly use sweet potato stalks, and only part of the sweet potato leaves are used. Prepare half of the carrots, peel them, slice them and cut them into small pieces for later use.
Step 2: The multigrain noodles I use today are "porridge noodles" bought from the supermarket, which are relatively coarse, and if you can find a more delicate one, it will be better. I carefully studied the contents, mainly various crushed beans, peanut kernels, wheat kernels, and I also added some black whole wheat flour and mixed well.
Step 3: Take out the chopped sweet potato leaves and carrots, add an appropriate amount of multigrain noodles and mix evenly, and continue to add if you feel less, until you can mix evenly and loosely.
Step 4: Add a small amount of water to the basin and mix it many times, because there is no white flour in the grains, so it is still very difficult to knead it into a dough, as long as the mixture is moist and sticky, and it can be formed in a pinch.
Step 5: Take a handful of multigrain mixture, arrange it into a circle with both hands, dig a small nest at the bottom and tidy it up, and then you can put it on the pot. Since the multigrain noodles have no gluten, the periphery is easy to crack and break when digging the nest, so the action should be slightly lighter.
Step 6: Make all the mixed grains and sweet potato leaves into a nest of raw embryos, start steaming on high heat after the steamer, start the timer after the pot is completely steamed, and turn off the heat in about 12 minutes. After turning off the heat, immediately remove the lid from the pot and cool to prevent the residual heat from steaming the sweet potato leaves and changing color. A bite is very chewy, a stream of sweetness pours up to the tip of the tongue under the chewing, it is more relish, the more you chew, the more fragrant, the aftertaste is endless, if you are interested, you can try this way of eating, it is more healthy and beneficial to be a staple food.

No matter how simple the dish is, there are cooking tips: because sweet potato leaves are rich in chlorophyll, it is easy to change color and gray after long-term high-temperature steaming, which affects appetite, so we can solve this problem by adding a little baking soda to the chopped sweet potato leaves and stirring evenly.
Multigrain noodles can be found in supermarkets, and those that cannot be found can be purchased online, with a more reasonable mix and a more uniform thickness.
