The custom of eating kudzu rice in early winter in Chaoshan area actually existed in ancient times. As the saying goes in Chaoshan area, "Eat Gefan on October 10th". When new rice comes into the market in early October, 65438+, white radish, garlic and fresh pork are added to make a simple and delicious cooking meal. According to reports, "Ge", also known as "wok", refers to the way of cooking, which means burning, reflecting the rich cooking methods of Chaozhou cuisine. There is also a saying in beginning of winter that "eating rice ensures safety".
Gefan is generally understood as "fried rice". Actually, it's different from fried rice. Gefan is to mix some difficult-to-cook materials (such as potatoes, taro, carrots, sausages, bacon, etc. ) put it in rice and steam it together. At the same time, every grain of rice absorbs the aroma of these materials, which is softer and more delicious than fried rice and more suitable for the elderly and children. And the main ingredients can be changed according to your own preferences.
