The first of the fresh vegetables to emerge during spring in Taizhou city, located in East China's Jiangsu province, is shepherd's purse, one of the common medicinal and edible wild vegetables of the season.

As soon as the spring rain falls, clusters of green shepherd's purse pop up in the fields, full of vitality.

There are different ways for Taizhou's folks to eat shepherd's purse. One cooking method is to add smoked bean curds to it and pour in some sesame oil, which is both simple and delicious.

Boiling a pot of shepherd's purse tofu soup to preserve its flavor to the fullest extent is also a good idea.

Making shepherd's purse dumplings with meat fillings and frying spring rolls with shepherd's purse are also good ways to savor the freshness and tenderness of the food.
