A LITTLE SOMETHING TO READ
Story & history
Shunde’s soft-fried milk belongs to a wider dairy-cooking tradition
In Shunde cooking, dairy cookery is treated as one of three major technique families, alongside river-and-pond fish and Fengcheng (Daliang) stir-fries. Cooks use a soft-fry method to turn high-fat buffalo milk into a tender, semi-set savoury dish; Daliang stir-fried milk is a typical example. The broader Shunde cooking tradition entered the district-level intangible cultural heritage list in 2011. This milk dish is soft and creamy, not a crisp milk fritter.
