|
<p>Thanks to the pandemic, I am spending much more time in Hong Kong. After losing my
|
|
|
maternal grandmother earlier last year, I feel the urge to visit my paternal grandma more often –
|
|
|
but not too often, at least not during another wave of outbreak. Then I found one way to make
|
|
|
her (and me) happy, apart from visiting her in-person – to learn cooking from her whenever I
|
|
|
visit and try to cook when I get home.</p>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
My paternal family is Hakka Chinese; literally, it means “guest people”. The only thing is that we
|
|
|
are self-invited. Historians believe that Hakka people have been migrated for a few times since
|
|
|
3rd century BC before they settled in Southern China. For my grandparents, they moved even
|
|
|
further to Hong Kong.</p>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
According to my grandma, as Hakka people have always been unwelcomed, we could only take
|
|
|
up hilly and infertile fields. That is why most Hakka dishes consist of pickles, organ meat and
|
|
|
coarse vegetables (but of course, at home, we do eat a lot of Cantonese food too). Even so, my
|
|
|
grandmother sometimes cooks a dish that doesn’t fall into any of these categories, and she
|
|
|
named it as “Simmered Egg” - minced pork, diced shiitake mushroom, chopped spring onion
|
|
|
with fluffy egg. It is so soft, comforting, yet somehow delicate.</p>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
In one of the visits, I urged her to show me how to make it. When she was pan-frying the
|
|
|
minced meat and shiitake mushroom, I asked her if Simmered Egg is a Hakka dish at all – “No,
|
|
|
of course not. Your grandfather used to work in a bookshop, and his Shanghainese boss once
|
|
|
invited us to his place for dinner. I liked this dish, so I tried to cook this at home.”
|
|
|
A few weeks later, I wanted to cook this for my partner, and I tried to search “Simmered Egg”
|
|
|
online, I could not find anything, if not anything related to Shanghainese cuisine. In the end, I
|
|
|
just vaguely followed her instruction and made use of fridge leftovers, replacing pork with tofu,
|
|
|
diced carrot and some dried Yunnan porcini I ordered the other day. It did not taste like
|
|
|
anything she taught me, and at this point, I doubt if it has anything to do with Shanghainese
|
|
|
cuisine at all.</p>
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
|
After all, “Simmered Egg” is an adaptation made with the spirit of being a Hakka woman -
|
|
|
adapting to changes (and leftover food). </p>
