#chaozhou — Public Fediverse posts

If you’re familiar with Cantonese congee you’re probably confused by Teochew porridge. Which is plain.

This is basically what my Teochew family used to eat for lunch daily.

This Chinese Cooking Demystified video explains it. The trick is to eat it with delicious sides (steamed fish, steamed tofu, preserved vegetables, briny olives etc)

Things to keep me afloat: Wuyi Origin’s Fan Shu Xiang (sweet potato scent) oolong.

As a Chaozhou person I have a deeply held preference for Chaozhou style oolongs and this (and other dancongs and ya shi) are my faves. Can I have many faves?

This #ancient #tea brew method was created by our #Teochew #Chinese #ancestors & is a big part of our #culture to this day. We eat & drink teas. We've shared this part of our culture w/many others.

' #Gongfu means #skillful . The #Chaozhou #brewing #method earned its “gongfu” title because it was a method that was #originally #developed for the brewing of low grade/coarse teas, creating delicious tasting brews through skillful brewing.'
