@teochewdaily: If you grew up Teochew, salted radish is an ingredient that tastes like home. Salted radish, or chai poh, brings so much flavor to something as simple as eggs and a bowl of porridge. It packs a salty punch as a savory addition and is found in all Teochew households for that rainy day when you’re out of ingredients and need to whip up a meal on the fly. Our families could make simple ingredients feel like a complete meal and elevate any ordinary dish to an extraordinary one. It’s small examples like these that remind me of how everyday food keeps our culture alive. I’m hoping this series empowers you to keep the culture alive… That when we miss our grandparents or parents, we can follow these recipes as guides back to blissful memories of them and how their sacrifices helped us be where we are today. Did your family fry it with eggs or eat it another way? #gaginang #teochew #chiuchow #trieuchau #teochewcuisine
