It exists in many regional cuisines of China, such as Shandong cuisine (鲁菜lǔ cài), Shanghai cuisine (本帮菜běn bāng cài), Sichuan cuisine (川菜chuān cài), and Jiangsu cuisine (苏菜sū cài), etc. Aside from those, every family will have their own twists and taste preferences.

We loved to mix it with white rice, and thought it was the most delicious food we could imagine.
