Purslane Steamed Bun

Purslane Steamed Bun

Overview

On weekdays, the alarm clock has to ring several times in the morning before I can separate from the bed with difficulty. On Sunday, I wake up early and think about going to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. If you go there early, you will always meet fellow villagers from the countryside. They can’t finish the vegetables they grow themselves, so they take them to the market to sell. Usually they are very generous and even sell and give them away. Although the vegetables are not as beautiful as greenhouse vegetables, they are fresh and affordable. No additives are added, so you can eat them with confidence. If you are lucky, you will encounter wild vegetables dug by fellow villagers in the fields. No, you will encounter purslane. In my memory, my mother’s steamed purslane steamed buns were the most delicious. I especially remember standing by the threshold with the steamed buns, eating and playing with my friends. At that time, I always thought its name was Ma Chicai, and I was very happy because the horse likes to eat it as much as I do. But I really forgot how to do it. Fortunately, there is a world of delicious food. Hahaha, a colleague exaggeratedly said that finding something on Taobao is like being short of salt at home. You have to go to Taobao first to check the price. No, hurry up and find Gourmet World to see how to make this purslane steamed bun. After flipping through several pages, I finally saw Luo Yeqiufeng's post, "Childhood Memories——Purslane Steamed Buns", my dear friend, it's exactly the same as in my memory, so I quickly posted it. . . . Here it goes!
