Although I am not a northerner, I also like dumplings. When I have time, I will make dumplings for my family. Although there are not many tricks I can make, it is quite popular with the family, ha ha. . . Having said so much, the food I will introduce to you today is of course dumplings.Because I went to the vegetable market with my husband in the morning and saw a dish that is not common in the South. It is a good ingredient for making dumplings, and it is also the flavor I want to eat. That is fennel seedlings.I remember the first time I ate fennel, when I was in the first grade of junior high school, I went to play with her classmates and saw that the empty seeds in front of her house were planted a lot. After asking her mother, I found out that it was fennel, and the aunt was so caring. I made the dish of fennel omelette that night, hehe, after I tasted it at that time, I found it to be particularly delicious; after many years, the wonderful taste of fennel after the entrance is still unforgettable; in the past two years, I have also searched for seeds online , Scattered in the flower pots on the balcony, but unfortunately there was no harvest.I saw it at a glance among a bunch of vegetables. When asked about the price, it was 35 yuan a catty. Wow, it’s so rare that it’s almost as expensive as beef; I’m hesitant to buy it because it’s expensive. At the time, our husband directly grabbed a handful and asked the boss to weigh it. He weighed a handful and cost 20 yuan. When he walked home, he told me: Buy if you want to eat, hesitate, this little money we still can afford it.Hey, he is a good husband. With fennel, the first thing I can think of is making dumplings. So when I got home, I started with my husband and I, cutting the meat, stirring the meat and noodles, and making dumplings. In less than an hour, the hot dumplings were served. , With a dipping saucer, I ate 12 big dumplings in one go. My husband was even more exaggerated. He ate it by himself and killed 20 in one go. I also came to rub our two boiled dumplings and put them directly. I was frightened. It was not that I was greedy for dumplings, but that he was greedy, haha. . .How about, do you have a kiss, just like me, they are all greedy for dumplings stuffed with fennel. Fennel, it is one of the most nutritious vegetables. It has high carotene and calcium content, vitamin B1, B2, C, PP and iron content. It can regulate qi and stomach, promote digestion, relieve pain and antibacterial. , Ufa and other effects, don’t miss it when you encounter it, don’t be soft on how expensive it is. . .

Hi, Katrina. The green vegetable is fenel. Maybe it has two English translation for “茴香”. One is fenel, the other is foeniculum vulgare.
