1. Pound the leaves fine and serve them as a cold dish. The method is to first cook the tender leaves, scoop them out and rinse them clean, remove the sour taste (the leaves are sour), squeeze out the water by hand, put them into a salt mortar and pound them into a paste, then add small-headed scallions (local scallions, small in size and fragrant) and pound them together again, take them out and put them in a bowl, then mix evenly with mint, salt and MSG, and it is ready to serve. If you can also add a few dried yellow eels and pound them together, then the taste needs no further description - “fragrant, sweet, sour and spicy” all in one.
2. Cook the tender leaves well, take them out and rinse them, remove the sour taste, put them into a pot and stir-fry for a few minutes, then add the already chopped scallions and ginger and continue stir-frying, and finally add mint, salt and MSG. They can also be stir-fried together with cooked sliced or mashed potatoes; the taste is sweet and sour, and very delicious.
3. For white fish, carp, red-tailed fish and so on, cook them until half done, then add fresh tender leaves and cook together until the fish is done, then add mint, scallion sections, salt, MSG and so on. The soup of this dish is sweet and sour, and the fish is fresh; both adults and children love to eat it.
