Chaoshan people, especially Chaoyang people, like to eat ginger potatoes. During the New Year’s Eve gathering, sweet ginger potato is often one of the dishes served. On the first day of the Lunar New Year, when friends and relatives come to pay New Year's greetings, the host will cook a bowl of ginger and potato chip soup to entertain them. According to Chaoyang folk customs, guests can refuse other hospitality but must eat this bowl of ginger and potato soup. Because it shows the host's respect for the guests. In the past, on the morning after the bride got married, she would have a bowl of sweet potato soup specially made for her by her mother-in-law or sister-in-law. In the minds of Chaoshan people, ginger and potato soup is not just an ordinary food. It symbolizes sweetness and perfection, as well as auspiciousness and happiness.

Traditional way of eating

Chaoshan people are very particular about eating ginger potatoes. Cut the ginger potato into thin slices, put it into boiling water and cook for a while to make potato chip soup. The potato chips in the soup are slightly curled and taste fresh and smooth. Cut the ginger potato into cubes, add sugar and lard and simmer over low heat to make braised ginger potato, which tastes sweet and delicious. After the ginger potato is cooked, mash it into a paste, mix it with sugar, and make it into the shapes of five kinds of fruits such as peach, apricot, and persimmon, which can be steamed and eaten at any time. This ginger, sweet potato and five-fruit dish is often praised by guests at wedding banquets as a delicious vegetarian dish.

In addition, cut the ginger potato into small pieces as a meat ingredient, add salt and other ingredients, the potato pieces will be fragrant and fluffy, and have a unique flavor. Then the ginger potatoes are ground into mashed potatoes in a special mortar. Because the ginger potatoes are crispy and still have granules after grinding, they are suitable for cooking ginger potato balls. Steamed ginger potatoes are rough, while ginger potato balls are crispy and smooth.

Another way to make it is to add sugar and mash it into a paste. The mashed potatoes are very sticky, and those who are not familiar with the process think that they will stick to your teeth and clog your throat after being steamed. The strange thing is that after the mashed potatoes are steamed in a container without adding yeast, it becomes ginger potato fermentation. It is loose and not sticky, and more refreshing than cake. It has a perfect shape, color, fragrance and taste, and looks like solidified fat. What does solidified fat look like? The Book of Songs says that a beautiful woman has "skin like solidified fat", so ginger and sweet potato fermentation is as lovely as a beautiful woman's skin. In fact, ginger and sweet potato fermented food is whiter in color, and has a fresh and sweet fragrance, which makes people salivate.

Another way to eat it is during the Chinese New Year. People in Shantou like to eat hot pot during the Chinese New Year. Ginger and sweet potatoes can also be used as the soup base for hot pot. Usually, you buy some mutton or a chicken, and then add ginger and sweet potatoes to it. The soup base can become very thick, and if it is cooked for a long time, the ginger and sweet potatoes will melt in the soup. It not only tastes good, but is also very good for children's spleen and stomach. In addition, you can wash the ginger potato, boil it directly in water, add some salt and ingredients, pick it up, peel it and eat it. It is also very delicious and you will never get tired of it.
