Kunming's unique vege - li(2) hao(1) by hooiluangoh
If you are at a local restaurant, don't forget to order a dish of li(2) hao(1). Just simply stir-fry with garlic is enough to bring out its unique flavour. Alternatively you can stir-fry it with some dried chillis (as yunnannese love to eat everything with chillie)Li(2) Hao(1) has a distinct smell, a little minty (but it is not mint), and a little of the water cress.I haven't figured out exactly what plant this is. But it seems Kunmingnites eat every thing of a plant, from the flowers of pumpkin to the bulbs of lilies.
