Yongchun Cantonese Porridge Introduction
This Yongchun Cantonese Porridge has been run by the family since the grandfather's time. At its peak, both the grandfather and father operated two stores simultaneously, and the cooking methods and flavors have been passed down through generations. It is quite different from what you find in Taiwan, as you won't see rice grains; instead, it’s a smooth porridge. However, there are plenty of ingredients, including special small fish balls from Kinmen, made from freshly kneaded fish paste and measuring about two centimeters in diameter, which are soft and have a fishy aroma. The Cantonese porridge also includes minced meat mixed with chopped scallions (seemingly to match the texture and size of the minced meat) and finely chopped water chestnuts. Since the minced meat is added directly to the pot, the meat juice remains sweet and envelops the minced meat balls, becoming one of the standout features.
