One of the characteristics of Chaoshan cuisine is that they like to eat porridge, and they especially serve more side dishes with porridge. Pickles, tribute vegetables, olive vegetables, etc. are all familiar to people. The hemp leaf introduced here is a side dish made of wild vegetables.
hemp leaf is a unique kenaf leaf in Chaoshan. It was not eaten in the past, because Chaoshan people had to wait for the kenaf elders to use kenaf skin to weave ropes. Now no one makes ropes. This kind of hemp leaf is on people's dining table. The leaves on the top of kenaf were picked and eaten when it was still very young, so this kenaf never grew up and could not be made into ropes. However, the sesame leaves on the table are rare and delicious. The sesame leaves need to be soaked in water to remove the astringent taste, and then stir-fried. It is a little salty, but it is perfect for serving porridge.
