  • About

In this traditional Chiu Chow dish, two ingredients particular to Chiu Chow cooks in southern China are used. The first is Sichuan peppercorns, which they call chin jiew, and which, until recently, were not used by other cooks in Guangdong. The second is what the Chiu Chow call jun jiu choi, or “pearl vegetable, ” which are wild green leaves that are shaped like tiny maple leaves. They are deep-fried and used as a garnish for many different dishes, especially chicken dishes. T
