Why does the fearsome ear root become the love of Guizhou people?

In recent years, more and more people in Guizhou are familiar with the root of broken ears. Since childhood, we have been wandering in the ocean of happiness with broken ears, happy and comfortable. We can't understand your angry resistance to this lovely little thing!

The evil spirit of broken ears makes people who love it unable to extricate themselves, but they are afraid of bone erosion. Even a gourmet with all-encompassing taste buds can't help putting up a "ban" at the root of a broken ear.

Looking at the appearance alone, the root of the broken ear can also be regarded as "not crawling" and "slender and tidy". The whole body is white and slender, and the value is definitely not low.

But for people outside the southwest, you can only watch from a distance and dare not play near, because its unique smell makes you unable to adapt. The nickname "Houttuynia cordata" alone can make you flinch, as if an irresistible stench came at you.

There are various words in the Jianghu to describe the smell and taste of crocodile roots: raw fish scales, biochemical weapons, tear gas, acid rot ... Anyway, almost all dark and ugly anti-human words are under crocodile roots.

The reason why the taste of ear root is so special is that it belongs to the vegetable itself, but it is an out-and-out Chinese herbal medicine. In the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, ear root has the functions of clearing away heat and toxic materials, diuresis and detumescence, helping digestion and clearing away lung heat.

Why is such heavy food regarded as a treasure by Guizhou people?

Guizhou is surrounded by mountains, with abundant rain and humid climate. People have a strong taste and prefer spicy food. The appearance of broken ears just balances the body heat caused by eating spicy food for a long time.

In addition to the balance of efficacy, pepper and broken ear root can also achieve uncompromising choice in taste.

The roots of broken ears are strange and smelly, and the smell is overbearing. The "everyman" in the seasoning is not comparable, except for the pepper with the same hot temper. Spicy taste reduces some sour taste, but it gives birth to a wonderful taste of "flowers blooming in the dust".

Ear root has an irreplaceable position for Guizhou people. People in Guizhou eat the roots of broken spikes, mainly rhizomes. The most common way to eat is cold salad. Put it in a deep bowl, add salt, vinegar, pepper noodles, ginger and garlic, coriander and sweet pepper, and serve. Crisp, spicy and refreshing, and the aroma is overflowing.

Dipping in water is the soul of Guizhou people's diet, and eating soup in hot pot is the finishing touch.

And the broken ear root is definitely a C debut in the water of Guizhou people!

Generally speaking, there is no fixed formula for the deployment of dipping water. The taste is clear, rich and frugal. However, it is no exaggeration to say that it laid the foundation for a bowl dipped in water.

Besides, Crocodile Root is the best playmate of street snacks in Guizhou: Potato Baba, Silk Doll, Tofu Brain jiaozi, Spike Potato, Love Tofu Fruit ... all have established an immortal friendship with Crocodile Root and will never part!
