The characteristic of kefan, the fragrance is strong, the fragrance of lard is mixed with the fragrance of the ingredients, and the aftertaste is endless.
In the past, it was cooked with an authentic wood fire stove. The big stove is very fragrant because of the big fire, the big pot, and the quick cooking of the rice. The best food is the layer of rice, which is oily and crispy. But the big stove is only used in July every year, and only when it is necessary to cook four or five catties of rice. Usually, the gas stove is used at home for about two hands of rice.
Even though wood stoves are rarely used for cooking now, or even no longer, the taste of this bowl of rice is still there. I won’t talk too much nonsense; now I’m going to teach you how to cook this traditional special dish, aftertaste the familiar taste: Shantou Kefan"
