Does Lianyungang Doudan refer to caterpillars?

Bean Dan, also known as bean worm, is a local delicacy in Lianyungang.

In Lianyungang, there is a small animal, commonly known as Doudan, which is a local specialty food.

Doudan, the scientific name of Doutian moth, is an insect that feeds on bean leaves and nectar and grows in a natural non-toxic and pollution-free state. High protein and low fat have the effect of warming the stomach. It has a beautiful figure, similar to a silkworm. The adult is about 5 cm long, tender green, with a dark head and a tail horn at the tail. There are seven pairs of white lines on both sides from the first abdominal section. It harms bean leaves and gnaws holes. In severe cases, plants will become bare stems and cannot bear pods.

Although Doudan is the natural enemy of soybean, its pulp is non-toxic and harmless, and it is an excellent high-protein food. The prepare dish is very delicious, and has special curative effect on treating stomach cold disease and malnutrition. After the bean peony bark is fried, it is sprayed with crispy fragrance and tastes excellent. Doudan can be eaten in a variety of ways, such as stewing, making soup, frying and frying raw skins, all of which are delicious.

Southerners think it is a bug, and generally dare not eat it or don't want to eat it. Only after they have tasted it will they praise it. Nowadays, Doudan has been popular in high-end restaurants in Huaihai area, and it is no longer unique to Lianyungang. However, its practice and flavor are still dominated by Lianyungang. Especially in winter, how to get rid of the rustic flavor and make it more delicious is a skill of Lianyungang chefs.

Because it only grows in summer, things are scarce, and now bean Dan has reached 100 yuan/bowl in the local area.

Lianyungang Doudan is a natural organic food, which is extremely delicious and unforgettable. It is one of the most representative local products in Lianyungang, and it is known as "rare in China, unique in North Jiangsu and unique in Hong Kong".

I have never eaten puffer fish, and I don't know what the taste of this world is. In my opinion, adzuki bean balls are delicious and non-toxic, so you don't have to risk your life like eating puffer fish. Whether it's mung bean Dan or prickly bean Dan, put two pieces in your mouth. As soon as your upper and lower teeth are closed, a fresh fragrance immediately spreads and rises in your mouth, which makes people feel heartache and produces saliva on your teeth. Close your eyes, people seem to be expanding, like a hydrogen balloon filled with gas, slowly rising to the sky, interacting with white clouds and keeping company with the stars, so that once you climb to the top of the peep, you will see it and give you a little taste. I even invented a new way to eat. I put two chopsticks bean paste and a clove of garlic in my mouth, chewed it carefully, and swallowed it slowly, so that the fresh flavor and spicy taste were fully mixed, and then rose to my heart and turned into sweat. That taste is really incomparable.
