Boat porridge was created by boatmen in the suburbs of Guangzhou in the old days. At present, Liwan District, the local cultural center of Guangzhou, used to be a suburb, with vertical and horizontal rivers and litchi trees planted all over the river. It is called Litchi Bay, and summer is a good season to play. Every evening, literati love to come here to play and sing two sour poems. It is not enough to sing without eating. Nearby boatmen may think porridge is easy to cook, so they paddle their boats to start porridge business. When the guests ordered porridge, they rolled it on the boat and handed it to the shore or the cruise ship. After a while, the "boat porridge" was called away.
the method of boat porridge: boil japonica rice, pig bones and yuba with water or fresh soup to make porridge. When selling, take it out as needed, boil it in a small pot, put the fish fillets into porridge and boil it, and add floating skin, fried shad cake (shredded), fried peanuts, onions, shredded lettuce and pepper, salt and soy sauce. This porridge combines the advantages of many kinds of raw materials, which is not miscellaneous, crisp, soft and smooth, and the fish is fresh and sweet. The big bowl is only 2.5.
Boat porridge is made of fresh river shrimp or fish fillets, and later jellyfish, fried peanuts, cold rice noodles, chopped green onion, ginger, etc. It is boiled and rolled immediately before eating, which is fragrant, steaming and very fresh and sweet.
There is another legend about "boat porridge". It is said that there was a girl named Jinshui on the boat, and she was very kind-hearted. One day she put a carp caught by her father back into the river. After a few years, Jinshui's father was seriously ill. She was very sad and came to the river to pray for the fairy's blessing. Then a fairy came out of the water and said, "I was a carp saved by you a few years ago." As long as you cook some fish and shrimp porridge and sell it to others, you can exchange money to take your father to see a doctor and recover within 1 days. " Jinshui took care of his father's illness according to law, and this porridge was named "boat porridge" from then on.
