What is Leicha (Thunder Tea Rice)?
Leicha (Thunder Tea Rice) is a traditional Hakka rice bowl from southern China. It brings together cooked rice, chopped vegetables and herbs, often with additions such as tofu, peanuts or beans. Its signature element is a savoury green sauce made by pounding tea leaves with herbs and other ingredients; recipes vary between communities and households.
The sauce may be spooned over the bowl or served alongside, so you can mix it through the rice as you eat. Expect a fresh, grassy, slightly bitter flavour, balanced by the mild rice and the vegetables’ different textures. It makes a substantial plant-based lunch, though toppings can vary. The bowl is mainly a source of carbohydrate from rice, with vegetables and herbs contributing fibre; the listed amount is 2.3 g per 100 g. Keep the sauce on the side if you prefer to adjust its intensity.
