Tang qing cai (燙青菜/烫青菜) (pinyin with tones: tàng qīng cài) is one of the common vegetable dishes. The other is chao qing cai (炒青菜) (pinyin with tones: chǎo qīng cài), stir-fired vegetables. These two vegetable dishes cover around 80% green vegetables we ingest daily. You can find tang qing cai in noodle shops and lu wei (滷味, soy sauce braised food) stands; chao qing cai is mostly served in bento shops and re chao dian (熱炒店, stir fry restaurant).

 

How to Make Blanch Vegetables?

Tang qing cai uses the faster and healthier way to cook vegetables. It contains no or less oil so it has less burden on body. Just scald/blanch any vegetables (usually leafy vegetables) into the boiling water for a couple minutes, and then strain it, season it with some minced garlic, salt, thick soy sauce, or even some braised pork marinade, depending on each restaurants’ recipe. Stir well before you taste it and enjoy the green, fresh, and crisp texture!

Hi, I’m Mosa. This name is taken from the latter words of Formosa, the former name of Taiwan in 16th century which means “beautiful island.” Indeed, Taiwan does have ravishing natural landscapes and diverse cultures worth exploring. However, there is no much access for foreigners to learn more about Taiwanese culture in English. Here in TAIWANBOW. 臺灣飽典 I started by introducing Taiwanese food to arouse people’s attention to Taiwan since Taiwan has been voted as the country with the best food*. I hope that through this website I can make some contribution to Taiwan, where I was born and grew up.
