You should fry the rice with garlic first then put it to boil. The hakka call it moon fun. Use manis chye, dry prawn,long bean and tau kua,ganish with peanuts.

I love this but where to in Malaysia 🇲🇾

[@lishr4536]

where do you get thai basil leaves from please? Ntuc doesn't have it?

[@brielli6393]

Not sure what country you're from, but most US asian markets have it. Once you buy it you can take a few stems, strip all but the top 2 or 3 leaves, and then but it in a cup of water. It'll grow roots in the water and then you can plant it and have your own basil :)

[@DanielYapHZ]

Hello Sg here, Thai Basil can find from wet market. Chinese vegetable stall should have, but I usually get from Malay stall that have garlic, onion, lemongrass etc. Hougang Ave 4 wet market have.

[@柠檬-o9k]

love it！❤️

[@enufisenuf]

what kind of chinese tea leaves? jasmine, pu erh, oolong? can this be omitted?

[@themeatmensg]

Hi Anna! We used 中国茶叶 that you can find in the supermarkets. But it's completely fine to swap it out for other tea leaves. The tea leaves give the Thunder Tea Rice its iconic tea taste, we would recommend to swap the tea leaves to something you have rather than omitting them :) Cook and tag us on our socials!

[@ajl8615]

鹽会不会撒太多了？

[@kenmalaysia7440]

Why thunder tea?擂茶，not 雷茶。 擂茶actually means ground tea.

[@marieannelisetan1121]

Also where can I find mugwort leaves ??

[@recoil53]

I think a health food store might have it. If not, Amazon does.

[@marieannelisetan1121]

recoil53 ok thank you!

[@kctoh6171]

It is not call Thunder but instead Pounded...the writing for in chinese is 擂 (pound) not 雷 （Thunder）

[@wongww78]

many ppl made terrible mistake. the word ' 擂' means grind. nothing to do with thunder! thunder is ’雷‘！ 擂 and 雷 is different!

[@garyoleo4862]

Will.. Maybe We Need to call This for : “擂茶”, And Not “雷茶” 😅

[@tinang8417]

different cooking method

[@brielli6393]

So with that pesto tea soup at the end, how do you eat it? Pour it over the rice and veg?

[@MrYusufAnwar]

Yes, pour it over the rice and veg. It will be kinda soupy. Haha

[@wls2948]

Can we freeze the lei cha paste for future use?

[@christineyu6604]

Yes I do

[@raymondsilva7691]

Not sure is this really the correct translation🤔

[@szechua9084]

Maybe should rename into "Ground Tea Rice" instead.

[@jdsongyt2361]

[@themeatmensg]

It's a plant dried up :)

[@wls2948]

Where can buy mugwort

[@themeatmensg]

Your nearest Traditional Chinese Medicine stores :)

[@blackwizardmrd]

擂指的是研磨，是不是读书少啊？

[@jocelynngh4393]
