Chinese New Years Family made 溫公南乳齋煲 Vegetarian Claypot. When I was young, this dish generally was way better tasting & smelling in Hong Kong, depending on school of training, but everyone then slacked off for a veggies dish. For this family recipe alone for example, one will prob not discover it outside due to several factors 🎊🎊🤔:
•It carries 黃耳/金耳, on top of 黑木耳 & 雲耳. Former is super expensive these days so restaurants won't put this in the dish at all
•甜竹 A Compressed type of Beancurd product, which was prevalent back in the days. In HK, 越華會 still uses this luckily, but that seems about it
•Fresh Lily Bulbs 鮮百合. 甘肅省蘭州百合 is priced thru the roof these days, as it already was thousands of years ago. Try not to put them into a vegetarian Claypot bowl 😂
•There is another seemingly 'discontinued' 紅白 colorful ingredient, which we used to put into this dish. But somehow just remembered we haven't eaten it since the 19th Century lol 😢
•蠔豉 Dried Oysters. For a Vegetarian recipe, the usage of Oysters is justified by a school of thought or urban legend, that when certain Buddhism practitioners were starving near the sea & couldn't find vegetables to eat.. They were given guidance to put a stick into the water, and whatever clings to it is edible for a vegetarian 😳 There's another version which said it was Mussels 淡菜, which might make more sense considering it's Chinese character peculiarly refers to a '菜 vegetable'. But myths are myths, it's not proven so don't shoot the messenger nor propagate it pls 👲🏻🙆🏻♂️ Better don't write unsubstantiated information as facts to pass it on...
