Cold Toon Beans

Overview

Toon is known as a tree vegetable, rich in nutrients and has high medicinal value. It can resist aging, nourish yang and yin, strengthen the spleen and appetite, and increase appetite. Blanch food to remove harmful nitrites. If you like toon, you can store it for a long time. The method is to blanch it, mix it with salt, store it in small bags in the freezer, and take it as you go. There are many ways to eat Chinese toon, and my favorite every year is Chinese toon stall eggs. When I was still in Beijing and it was still a few yuan a tael, I went to Fangshan and saw how cheap it was, 5 bundles for 10 yuan. It looked pretty good, so I quickly bought some more and came back to try some. Mixing Chinese toon and soybeans together is a particularly refreshing way to make it. It is more nutritious, fragrant, and not greasy. The flavor of Chinese toon is mixed with the aroma of beans. It is salty, fresh, and slightly spicy. It is very suitable as a side dish for drinking.
