How it's used
Although the name includes the word tea, it contains no tea leaves at all. The name refers to the practice of drinking Chinese tea alongside the soup to help dissolve the rich fats from the pork. It is a staple dish in Southeast Asian cuisine that has become popular in Hong Kong restaurants specializing in Malaysian or Singaporean food.
