Hakka Lui Cha 客家擂茶

不是每个客家人都有幸在自个儿家里吃到香喷喷又美味的擂茶,而我真的好幸福哦,因为我外婆和妈妈都会做擂茶!

做擂茶需要准备工夫,要买很多种青菜。首先要准备擂茶的精华--擂茶的香料。用果机把薄荷叶、芝麻和炒熟的花生一起搅碎,然后放入煮沸的水,加入少许盐和胡椒粉就可以了。

接着还要分别炒豆角,葱和豆腐,包菜,树枝菜,菜心,菜甫等。

米要放入炒过的虾米和蒜头,煮熟后的饭很香哦!

最后,把每一样菜和饭放进大碗里,在加上热腾腾的擂茶,就足以让人垂涎欲滴了!

擂茶是很健康的养生食物,可惜有些人不懂欣赏,其实只要细细咀嚼,就能品味到薄荷和各类蔬菜的香味咯!









Not every Hakka people are fortunate enough to eat delicious hakka lui cha, and I am really glad because both my grandmother and mother can cook lui cha.

Hakka Lui Cha needs a lot of preparatory work because it is consists of a variety of vegetables. First of all, the essence of Lui Cha should be prepared. Use blender to mince the mint leaves, sesame and peanut together, and then add boiling water, a little salt and pepper.

Then also, fry the beans, green onions and tofu, cabbage, "branch vegetables", "dried carrots", vegetables, etc. (Haha, i don't know the name of those vegetables in english)

Also, add fried shrimp and garlic to rice, yummy~

Finally, put all the dishes and everything into a big bowl of rice, and add the Lui Cha!!!

Lui Cha is a very healthy food (only vegetables and rice) can help improve digestion hehe. Sadly some people do not appreciate, they think it's weird to add the Lui Cha into the rice. All in all, it's my favourite food, so try it.
