Oil-tea of Guanyang County, Guilin
2013-11-22 | Life in Guilin | Comments(0) Views(1154)
If you have been to Guangxi Province, China, you may already know the incredibly beautiful Guilin and Li River. But you may know little about the cuisine tradition of Guilin. Today I will introduce a kind of Guilin food and its culture - Oil-tea. According to the recording documents, Oil-tea can be dated back to China’s Qing Dynasty (1636-1912) when it was called Refreshing Tea. Nowadays, the habitat of drinking Oil-tea has spread all around Guilin, for example we have Gongcheng County Oil-tea, Xing’an County Oil-tea, Ziyuan County Oil-tea, Guanyang County Oil-tea and etc, among which the Gongcheng County Oil-tea is the most famous one. But here I recommend the Guangyang County Oil-tea. Although it is not as famous as the Gongcheng Oil-tea, I think it is healthier. People cook Oil-tea in their lunch or dinner time, or even during the breakfast. You may think they are crazy, but Oil-tea is exactly crazily favored by many Guilin people. Drinking Oil-tea is not just a kind of cuisine, it is also a important social communicating tool for the Guilin people.
How to cook Guanyang Oil-tea?
Ingredients: fried rice, noodles or rice noodles, peanuts, salty pork ribs, tea leaves, green Chinese onion, mushroom, mung bean, vegetables, and white sugar or red sugar.
