Houttuynia cordata, kelp and mung bean soup

Overview

It is a common grass in my hometown. People in the city call it Houttuynia cordata, but people in the hometown call it Zheergen, which is more friendly and appropriate. Whenever spring comes, everything in the green hills behind the house revives, and the streams in the forest gurgling. In the March soil, accompanied by the clear chirping of the cuckoo, the folded ears sprout out of the ground like bamboo shoots after the rain, poke their heads out, open the small purple umbrella, and let the gentle wind and drizzle caress. Many people are not used to smelling Houttuynia cordata because of its weird smell. Including me, I never ate it when I was a child. But every time I saw adults eating it with gusto, I heard that eating it has many health benefits, so I ate a few sticks.
