How it's used
Teochew cuisine is highly regarded in Hong Kong for its emphasis on fresh seafood and intricate marinating techniques. Many local restaurants specialize in 滷水 dishes, which are slow-cooked in a complex, aromatic soy-based broth. It is common to pair these meals with a small cup of bitter, strong tea known as 功夫茶 to cleanse the palate.
Examples
