Updated:2009-06-07 20:43:34 Source: Lifeofguangzhou.com

A traditional rice-based dish, unique to Guangzhou and with a long and colourful history, Sampan porridge is popular for its fresh and sweet taste.

In an earlier time, this delicious porridge was served on sampans that plied Liwan Lake, on the western outskirts of the city, thus giving the dish its name.

Recipe:

Originally the porridge used fresh river shrimp and fish fillet as its main flavours. Later, jellyfish, fried peanut kernels, shallots and ginger were added to the mix. The porridge is boiled together with all the ingredients just before it is served.

Whether eaten in an up-market restaurant or at a street-side stall while taking in the atmosphere of the city, you’re sure to enjoy the great taste of Sampan porridge.
