It’s the right time to cleanse the intestines and nourish the stomach after the holidays - clean and delicious steamed baby cabbage with strawberry vermicelli
Overview
It feels like celebrating the New Year, for most Chinese people, it is a kind of belief. Because of this belief, everyone will rush home at all costs to reunite with their families. Although we often lament that the flavor of the New Year is getting weaker and weaker nowadays, and those old folk customs with the imprint of the times are rarely seen, the Chinese Spring Festival has remained strong across thousands of years. Really, what remains unchanged is the Spring Festival, only the folk customs of celebrating the Spring Festival have changed. Having said that, things are ever-changing, and the Chinese New Year is always closely linked to food. No matter how many places we have been, or how many miles we have traveled, what we miss most is the taste of our hometown, and what we miss the most is the food cooked by our mother. When I return home during the Chinese New Year, eating steaming dumplings and looking at my mother’s smiling face, happiness will fill my heart all of a sudden. Therefore, during the Spring Festival, it is not easy to resist the temptation of delicious food. When relatives gather together, they eat and drink whatever they want, and often get drunk. After the holidays, we should start cleaning our intestines and nourishing our stomach. This steamed baby dish with vermicelli is a very good dish for clearing the intestines and nourishing the stomach. It can not only reduce fat and lose weight, but also serve as a delicious dish for family dinners. This year I made an innovation and added homemade strawberry jam to make the dish taste more fragrant and refreshing. Our famous local golden hook dried shrimps are also added. The steamed baby cabbage is delicious and sweet, and it is really memorable when you eat it.
