Dianxi Xiaoge Teaches Us How to Forage for Wild Greens (At Home With DXXG - E5)
Foraging is a popular pastime in China's Yunnan Province, where it's common for people to pick wild greens for cooking.
Yunnan is one of China's most biodiverse regions, home to 52% of the country's plant species. We learned a bit about foraging from food influencer Dianxi Xiaoge, who taught us all about shuixiangcai, a perfumy green that thrives near water, and made two dishes with it.
This video is the last of our six-episode collaboration with Dianxi Xiaoge. With over 11 million followers worldwide, Dianxi Xiaoge is known for her cooking videos showcasing the traditional food of Yunnan Province. We went to live with her for a week and learned how to make her most iconic dishes.

Thank you Goldthread! Thank you for allowing me to show people around my hometown❤ Much love❤
Hello😊 I really love your vlog!
I'm really looking forward to your newest video on your channel
Good luck
I hope everyone is safe and doing well. We're looking forward to seeing more videos from you. Take care always. Please give Dawang lots of hugs for me.
I really enjoy all of your videos and I watch them everyday! Your videos help to calm me and I really love your family and dog dawang too. Please stay healthy and hope to see more videos from you
They shoot her beautifully with good lighting on her face and background. All these series abt her is done beautifully and full of respect for her work.
Xiaoge has such sophisticated answers for the reasons of her cooking. I would have said, "Because it tastes good."
Right? Same!
Amo vc e suas receitas💖💖💖💖
yeah lmao. like asking why egg in the soup? like wtf? are you asian or not? my mom put eggs in everything. it doesnt need a reason lmao
@@CristinaGarcia-om3th ela é de que país china vietina Japão Coreia do sul Nepal chágai me respode
Penjie..! I never seen you speaking english on your videos.. Please make us one videos that you speak english full..
thank you so much Goldthread-Clarissa, more in love with Dianxi Xiaoge.
This melts my heart 0:17 😍 Always love to see Dawang following Xiaoge anywhere enjoying and having the funs of his life😂
Love how Dawang is just doing his own thing while DXXG and Clarissa discuss the merits of wild greens so earnestly, then, "oh they're done talking, HAY GUISE!"
Dawang was blissed out that day. He adores water 🤣 & we all got splashed by him.
It looks like he was trying to help them pick the wild herb. LOL
"The flavor of wild greens is irreplaceable. You can't replace the flavor of wild plants with farmed vegetables" Truth
This type of knowledge 🤔🧐 Should be taught in all schools!!! In every country!💞🌟🌏🌎🌍 I love watching this Because my mother nor father Ever taught me anything about How to preserve and forage Plant's and meat of all kinds. This should be taught to all ages and protected for generations!
Thank you Clarissa for identifying the various plants by their scientific names as well as their common names (and of course by their name in Mandarin). I’m a horticulture and food enthusiast and I’m always so curious to know about all of the roots, seeds, bark, berries, spices etc that Dianxi uses in her dishes. Speaking of which, do you know what the scientific name for “tsaoko”? I notice she uses it a lot. I think it translates to “black cardamom” but without a real botanic name one can’t be sure.
Hi! It's Lanxangia tsaoko.
Great series on this talented woman. Thank you 😎🙏✌
Mannnnn I love this interview series. I hope she gets her own international show, she is so knowledgeable and so strong.
I love Dawang running through the narrow water trench. He's free when he's sitting or splashing in the water. Or, chasing the chickens'.
Watching her vids is kind of like therapy. I’m even more impressed after watching your interview series. Nice scoop Goldthread!
That's why I love her more than anyone's vlog. She's so natural and it's obvious that everything she does, she's doing it with TLC 💚💚💚💚
Wow, such a beautiful green gardening, Dianxi she is good cook.
Your back!’ Refreshing and Relaxing and you always make me hungry!’ New baby’ Touch my heart!’
Ahh... I can't wait for each installment of this series.
One of the loveliest KZheadrs!! Her videos are just wholesame and authentic
Plant at 1:44 that she said is a fragrant wild herb is actually Mint or in India we call it Pudina , used mostly for making chutneys.
Waiting for the next episode

As i can see that Yunna country side is very very beautiful in Bao shan it brings out the beauty of the countryside thanks for showing Gold Thread.....
Aaaaah Im always weak for foraging wild greens & edible plants 😭😭😭😭 I really love it everytime my mom and I go to somewhere forest-y because then she'll show me which plant is edible, what kind of plant this and that since she grew up in a village but my mom is growing old and she gets tired easily 😭😭😭 still makes me sad how I didnt take advantage of when she was still younger, I would ask her to take me to forage wild plants 😭 I hope we can still have time & energy to do that before she get even older than now. Thank you for showing us this video. Much love from Indonesia.
It is true that we love foraging outside... I miss the Chinese toon so much in spring....
Qiuyue Liang Chinese toon is my fav as well!!
Super love dawang's bell! Like you can hear when this big fur is coming to get you! 😂 And the way dianxi makes the interviewer work as well, so much respect with this interviewer!

I have this big green leaf in my kitchen garden. We called it "giyi " or "laipatta". Love from Arunachal Pradesh, India

Quem mora na roça aprende, desde criancinha, a identificar as plantas .É algo que se aprende com os mais velhos . Fazem cada pergunta óbvia para Dianxi ... 🇧🇷

Hi good morning love from Nepal🇳🇵
👍❤️ and love dawang
Chanel Paporite,,, saya suka sekali. Salam dari Indonesia🙏 Trimakasih.
Nice place
Xiaoge seems more like a people person. She converse well. I think Li Ziqi is more on the reserved side, she's a little more awkward and nervous around people not in her circle.
I love her cooking and her kitchen is so nice and clean !
Hi Yunnan how are you your all you tub program see that your dog very nice OK take care and healthy life dear☺☺☺
很期待您可以幫助弱勢家庭的小朋友們當她們主廚特製一餐給她們溫暖的家的美食分享
Dawang 😃😃😃💕
