Now in this season, there is nothing better than eating wild vegetables. Spring and summer are the time when wild vegetables appear one after another. The leaves of wild ginseng are a type of wild vegetable that contains a high amount of vitamins. They are also a type of traditional Chinese medicine. Both the nutritional and medicinal value of wild ginseng leaves are extremely rich. Today, I will teach you how to make a dish called "Sesame Oil and Goji Berry Wild Ginseng Leaves" for nourishment.
【Name】
Sesame Oil and Goji Berry Wild Ginseng Leaves
【Ingredients】
Wild ginseng leaves, cooking oil, shredded ginger, goji berries, rice wine, sesame oil
【Method】
1. Stir-fry the shredded ginger in cooking oil until fragrant.
2. Stir-fry the wild ginseng leaves quickly in the pan.
3. Add goji berries soaked in rice wine, along with the soaking liquid.
4. Finally, drizzle with sesame oil and remove from heat.
【Nutritional Value】
Sesame oil is nourishing and not suitable for high-temperature cooking. Adding it after cooking ensures that the temperature is suitable for adding sesame oil, and it also changes the cooling nature of the ginseng leaves. The degree of oil saturation is just right.
Ginger removes the coolness and fishy taste of wild vegetables, and goji berries soaked in wine are better than those soaked in water. When combined with ginseng leaves, the dish becomes mild and nourishing.
The ginseng leaves are tender and have a slightly smooth texture. They are more refreshing than wood ear vegetables. It is a great choice to taste them in early summer.

【Methods for Cultivating Wild Ginseng at Home】
Wild ginseng is a plant of the genus Panax in the family Amaranthaceae. It is easy to cultivate and has the characteristics of wild vegetables. It is resistant to drought and almost free from pests and diseases, making it easy to manage. In some places in the botanical garden, wild ginseng has been seen growing in cracks between rocks by the roadside without any care, and it grows very well.
It is convenient to propagate wild ginseng using seeds. The germination temperature needs to be around 15 degrees Celsius or higher, and it can also be propagated by cuttings. This year, next to the wild ginseng I planted, there was an empty pot. After the fruit capsules of the wild ginseng matured and split open, some small black seeds splashed onto this piece of land, and a large pot of wild vegetables grew without any effort.
Wild ginseng prefers warm weather. If you want to try planting it this season, whether by sowing or by cuttings, there is still time. If you are planting it for vegetables rather than flowers, the flower spikes that grow should be removed as soon as possible to avoid wasting nutrients.
