About 20 years ago, when Hanoi was not as expanded as it is now, when the inner city and the areas along the West Lake still had a gap in terms of both traffic and life, the suburban villages were still quite intact. When it’s time to cook rice, go to the garden and walk around to have a basket of delicious vegetables. It’s only been 20 years, it’s not a long time, but now it’s a fairy tale.
Food of the past Collected vegetables is a concept that includes the synthesis of vegetables that grow in the garden. Basically, cook whatever you want. A few sprigs of spinach, a few tops of amaranth, amaranth, a little water spinach, spinach, jute, purslane, especially when there are a few handfuls of chili leaves… Many people call it the soup of memories. and it is absolutely a “solution” soup when other vegetables are not available. According to the Vietnamese dictionary, the meaning of the word “collection” is only found in the combination of “vegetable collection”. In the North, collected vegetables are usually amaranth, purslane, centella asiatica, spinach, jute… In the South, sage is the common name of a collection of vegetables such as gotu kola, spiny amaranth, purslane, plantain, plantain, coriander, guava leaves, clams, cilantro, cilantro, scallions… According to an article by Dr. Pham Van Tinh, Ph. In Hoang Phu Ngoc Tuong’s literature, the word “treasure” belongs to the collection of herbs, which is wild grass, and “collection” is a collection of many types of vegetables. As for the Hue people, for “collection” is to read the sound camp of “decade” (the ten is ten, implying many types of vegetables combined). Vegetable soup is usually cooked simply, because it is mixed with vegetables, so it has a very unique taste, the strong smell of chili leaves, the sour taste of sam vegetables… Of course, it is a rural dish, so it is never available. face on the guest tray. Now, with the trend of going back to the past, vegetable soup suddenly becomes a specialty, it is raised to a higher level when cooked with crab or mussels, shrimp, fresh shrimp or minced lean meat. Of course, no matter what it is cooked with, it is still a special kind of soup. Nowadays, in Hanoi, there are not many gardens that still have vegetables to collect and pick up every meal. But small markets, mainly toad markets, sometimes come across a few baskets of vegetables for sale for only 5,000 VND/tang, as much as you can eat. Of course, it is not a vegetable that is innocently picked out of the garden and sold, but mixed intentionally. 
When wild vegetables become a specialty Now in mid-range restaurants, the menu sometimes also has collectible vegetables. Vegetables are sold at city prices. Not only the vegetables that suddenly become a specialty, many wild vegetables such as cilantro are also an example. It is a small grass-like vegetable that once filled the garden. People who have been through the difficult subsidy period often have eaten this vegetable. Vegetables are often used to cook soup or mixed in a bowl of vegetable soup. Along with cilantro, there is also nettles. This is a plant belonging to the eggplant family, so it is somewhat similar to eggplant in terms of both leaves and fruit. If you want to find stinging nettle, just wander along the field, along the road or garden corner in the countryside, it is easy to pick the whole basket. In the past, sturgeon was considered a poor family dish, a vegetable to save hunger in rural areas when economic conditions were still poor, people picked it to eat through meals. And until now, sturgeon is naturally upgraded to a specialty, loved because it is a clean vegetable that grows wild, does not contain preservatives, is both delicious and healthy. Dishes made from sturgeon have been improved and are very diverse such as cooking, sautéing meat, boiling, eating hot pot… However, the most popular is still stir-fried sturgeon with garlic according to the old flavor. The best sturgeon is the newly picked young shoots, giving a sweet, sweet taste. And if the vegetables are just plain cake, when cooked, the taste is a bit bitter. Along with that, there are sam vegetables. This is actually a year-round grass, with many smooth, smooth branches. Purslane grows wild in wet places. Although it is liked by many people to eat and use as a medicine, no one seems to question growing this vegetable. Therefore, it is really a plant that only grows wild. When picking purslane, people usually pick the whole plant, cut off the roots and then wash them, use fresh or dry or dry. Spinach is often boiled or mixed with amaranth rice, which is also a vegetable that grows mainly wild, rarely grown officially. Referring to wild vegetables without mentioning ground ginseng would be a big omission. Ginseng grows wild, the tubers are used as a medicine, the leaves are very cool and a bit like spinach. Ground ginseng is also one of the vegetables, which can be included in the bowl of traditional vegetable soup of the Northern people. Although growing wild, it is not difficult to propagate ground ginseng. Ground ginseng usually flowers purple, if grown on moist soil, the plant grows quite quickly, the seeds are small, when the seeds are old, they will be black. Put that seed to sow in moist soil, the plant will germinate very quickly.
