Features: Cooking vegetables may require more wisdom and skill. The taste of tofu is like a blank sheet of paper—how it is colored and shaded depends entirely on one's heart; vegetables are also quite different. The difference between asparagus and lotus root is undoubtedly far greater than that between beef and lamb. And for each vegetable, we must follow its nature to shape it, only then can we achieve works that are complete in color, aroma, and flavor. I dare you to believe it, spinach can serve as proof. In Western cuisine, spinach is boiled in water until it becomes a mush, seasoned a bit, and then scooped into a bowl with a spoon. This method is quite hygienic but hardly acceptable to people. Therefore, every adult has the duty to flash a toothy, stiff smile and persuade the next generation to eat a little more. As a nation that has always been pragmatic, their attitude towards spinach is enough to amaze one. Since they have shown so much ingenuity in promoting spinach, it should not be difficult to cook it to be a bit tastier. But we all know that just blanch it and stir-fry it, and you'll have a vegetable dish that even any child would refuse to refuse. And the color and shape of the dish remain fresh and vibrant. With so many varieties of vegetables, dealing with delicious vegetables can spark an interest similar to that of natural history. Every vegetable has a long history, seemingly simple, but actually full of knowledge. How can we preserve the fragrance of the vegetables? How can we keep the color of the vegetables? Which place produces the longest lotus root strips? Which place has the sweeter radishes? Even a maid like Qingwen knows that removing the leaves from the stem of Artemisia princeps leaves a refreshing taste, so how much cleverness is hidden in Wang Xifeng's secret recipe for pickled eggplant? The result of cooking is not important; what matters is the process of trying, and the joy in it must be experienced slowly by everyone. In fact, this elegant cooking style is originally qualified to become a delightful and enjoyable pastime, just like flower arrangement.
