Lei Cha Veggie Rice (05 Oct 2023)

I never thought that I would cook for the house guard for a certain period, but it happens to be so. Yesterday the meal was Lei Cha（擂茶） Veggie Rice (Hakka Pounded Tea Rice). It simply included Lei Cha paste, organic sweet potato leaves, ginger, onion and white rice, besides cooking oil and salt. I was using a gas stove. I always recall the Spanish paella when cooking a one-pot meal like this, because I once cooked the tomato rice in this way before I knew the term "paella" - not taught by anyone but I found the way by myself.
