Edible Dried Yellow Flower Vegetable (Hemerocallis Citrina)
Chinese lily flowers and lily buds are secret ingredients in hot and sour soup. The yellow stems are commonly referred to as dried yellow flower vegetables, golden needles, day lily bulbs, and day lily buds. These dried lily buds or flowers impart a sweet, tea-like aroma and a satisfying crunch to soups and steamed dishes.
To prepare the yellow flower vegetable for hot and sour soup, rinse and soak it for 20-30 minutes. Then, slice it lengthwise and cut it into 1-inch strips before adding it to your soup just before serving. Alternatively, you can soak the long flowers, tie them into knots, and add them towards the end of cooking when making steamed or stir-fried dishes.
