Lei Cha in Auckland. Lei Cha translates into “Thunder Rice Tea”, lei is grind, Cha is tea, hence ground tea. It’s a vegetarian Hakka dish, famed for its medicinal, health & curative properties. My father is Hakka, so I should be very familiar with this dish. Wrong! It’s an acquired taste and growing up we would spit out rather than injest. So when my good friend Danielle Talon @danros20 said she had kept 2 portions of Lei Cha she had made for Uncle, I was rather pleased she offered. Danielle’s Lei Char was made from herbs she had growing in her garden. They are the core herbs with good fragrance: mint, sweet basil & Thai basil, African bitter leaf, wormwood or Chinese mugwort (artemisia argyi). These are the herbs that are ground for the soup. Crushed peanut is added to this soup when this Lui Char is being served. The topping on the rice base is a mixed of fennel, coriander, perilla (shiso), garlic, leek, chai po, green or long bean, black eye bean, bok choy, celery and spinach (instead of mani chai that’s not available here). Danielle had provided dried shrimps and fish fry; you can leave them out of the mix if you wish this dish to be totally vegetarian. The ingredients are topped on steamed brown rice sprinkled with sesame; rice bubbles mixed with peanuts are finally sprinkled after the green soup is ladled over the Lei Cha. #leicha #thundertearice #hakka (at Grey Lynn) https://www.instagram.com/p/BvtFdPsFv-v/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1e39ut9sly2ik
