Home version of Poon Choi

Overview

It is said that Poon Choi is a dietary custom of the Han people in the coastal areas of Guangdong and the New Territories of Hong Kong. It is said to have originated in the late Southern Song Dynasty and has a history of hundreds of years. It is a kind of chowder. A pot of vegetables has vegetarian and meat dishes, and the bottom part is vegetarian and the top part is meat. In this way, after eating the meat dish, the taste also enters the vegetarian dish. The various flavors are integrated, and it can be regarded as a special dish for banquets. You can eat more than one dish. Similarly, this dish is served during every festive occasion, when a new home is moved into a new home, when an ancestral hall is consecrated or when lights are lit during the New Year, it is also a good dish to honor the elderly. As a northerner, I have lived in Guangdong for seven or eight years. I like this dish very much. It has been mentioned in Hong Kong dramas and Tongue 2. I have also seen it done at ancestral hall dinners. I will try it today, but it is quite time-consuming.
