Today, I asked my son to get some young leaves of kanzo (daylily). He went to the riverside to get this much.
今日は、息子にカンゾウの若葉を少し採ってくるよう頼みました。川岸に行って、これだけ採ってきました。
I stir-fried two-thirds of them with ham, wiener sausages, eggs, and sesame oil. I seasoned them with salt, instant dashi, and soy sauce.
2/3はハム、ウインナーソーセージ、卵、胡麻油で炒め、塩、出汁の素、醤油で味付けしました。
I boiled the remaining ones for less than 2 minutes. We had them as ohitashi.
残りは２分未満茹でて、おひたしとして食べました。
It's good to know that something this delicious can be had for free!
こんなに美味しいものがタダで手に入るっていいことです！
I have been reading your blog and enjoy and learn a lot of things from you too:)Thank you for sharing what you do...it serves as inspiration!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know you could eat lily leaves -- I've only eaten lily bulbs before (and other flowers' leaves, like chrysanthemum). Interesting! Looks good!
ReplyDeleteSimple Living: Thanks for your comment. I visited your blog, and I found it quite interesting, especially your daughter studying Japanese!
ReplyDeleteTea Apprentice: Yes, daylily leaves are edible, and they are tasty. But, be careful! Pick up only those leaves you can identify as daylily leaves. Some look-alikes, especially daffodil leaves, are poisonous.
Ah. Thank you for the advice!
ReplyDeleteI was inspired by you and a few others, and went to my first foraging class this past spring!
ReplyDeletemuskratbyte: I'm glad to hear that! Happy foraging!
