Luwei (滷味) is a popular Taiwanese street food made by braising various ingredients in a flavorful broth (called lu shui 滷水) that's rich with soy sauce, spices, and herbs. The ingredients are simmered until they absorb the flavors of the broth, making them savory and aromatic. You can find Luwei stalls in night markets across Taiwan, where customers choose their preferred ingredients, and the vendor braises them to order.
Ingredients:
For braising:
- 10 slices ginger
- 2-3 bay leaves
- 5-6 garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp Sichuan peppercorns
- 1tsp five spice powder
- 120 ml light soy sauce
- 60 g brown sugar
- 1.5 l water
Other ingredients:
- 450 g white daikon radish, peeled and cut into 1½-inch thick half-moon pieces
- 300g dougan
- 300g mixie
- 200g seaweed
- 200g tofu
- 300g tempura
Instructions:
1. In a pot large enough to accommodate your ingredients, combine all the braising ingredients. Make sure the pot has enough room for both the ingredients and sufficient water later on.
2. Stir the mixture until the sugar is fully dissolved, ensuring a smooth, well-blended base for braising.
3. Add the main ingredients (such as radish, dougan, etc.) to the pot.
4. Pour in enough water to completely submerge them, ensuring even cooking and flavor absorption.
5. Bring the pot to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the ingredients simmer for at least 1 hour, allowing the flavors to meld. You may adjust the cooking time and seasonings.
5. After cooking, carefully remove the ingredients from the braising liquid. Let them rest briefly before slicing. Once sliced, arrange them on a plate and serve while warm, optionally drizzling some sauce over the top for added flavor.
