【Wuhan】Stir-fried bacon with mud and mugwort

Overview

Artemisia is a kind of wild vegetable unique to Hubei. Nowadays, with the improvement of technology, it can be cultivated artificially. People who are away from home during the Chinese New Year want to eat this stir-fried bacon with Artemisia the most. At first, I couldn’t smell the special smell of Artemisia. Later, I gradually accepted it and liked it. In summer, I like to stir-fry Artemisia with garlic. When mugwort comes on the market again in winter, I will buy it and stir-fry it with bacon. This is my favorite combination on the family table in Wuhan, and it is also an indispensable dish on the New Year table. I also like this combination when I follow the local customs, and I especially like to eat it. Although mugwort is a bit expensive this season, I still can’t help but buy it and stir-fry it with bacon!
