75. TEOCHEW CUISINE - My Chinese Heritage (Swatow, Guangzhou)

Teochew Cuisine

teochew food is typically "cheng" (teochew dialect) - 

i think the mandarin word is "清“, meaning clear, light, distinct.

some typical teochew dishes are:

- braised duck 卤鸭 with braised tofu or tau guah

- steamed pomfret teochew style 潮蒸鲳鱼

- fish soup

- su chye 蔬菜

- teochew porridge

- oh nee - yam paste with golden pumpkin 金瓜福果芋泥

(there are a quite a long list of teochew dishes known to many singaporeans)

some teochew style sauce dips are:

- sng mi chou - garlic, chilli, rice vinegar

- tau cheo - fermented brown beans 

- kek yew - orange oil soy 金桔油
