Pea Shoot Egg Soup
A soothing soup I stumbled upon in Sichuan, easy to make and refreshingly delicious... Pea shoots, which are the tender tips of pea plants, are known as '安豆' in southern Jiangsu, giving rise to the name '安豆头' for pea tips. These tips are a staple in banquet menus, as it is believed that having a dish made with 安豆 can bring peace and good luck for the entire year. Pea shoots are rich in vitamins A and C, calcium, and phosphorus. Additionally, they contain abundant antioxidants that can effectively combat aging and promote detoxification.
