Laba Dishes

Overview

This Laba dish is definitely a strong local specialty in northern Anhui. Maybe you would say, this is just a carrot, what’s so beautiful about it? That would be totally wrong. I was once so depressed that I couldn't eat anything because I couldn't eat this. Laba dish, commonly known as Biancai. In my hometown, Laba dishes are made about a week in advance and eaten with Laba porridge on the morning of the 8th of the twelfth lunar month. Laba porridge is also different from what everyone knows, it is salty. Post it when I'm done. Almost every family in our village can cook Laba dishes. At this time, the whole village is filled with the smell of Laba dishes. If we find out which family has not done it, neighbors will send it to them. There are often more homes that have not done it than those that have done it. This kind of Laba dish can be eaten until the Chinese New Year. Today's Laba dish, I made it in my own way and made improvements. Because it is traditional to put a lot of salt and vinegar in order to keep it for a long time. We don't eat it that way now, so we use it this way. It's sour, sweet, crisp, tender and refreshing.
