菜根香 (Vegetable Ends Salad)
Dinner @ Laozhuanchun Shandong Restaurant (老转村山东菜馆).
A lot of Chinese dishes found its roots in the desire not to waste food. Imagine, the root ends of spring onions and celery - what do you do with them? Here, they are brushed and washed clean, and served lightly salted and drizzled with sesame, and maybe some chilli oils.
Extremely crunchy; Absolutely flavourful. I was amazed at how simplicity can deliver something so delicious!
