It was originally cooked and sold from small boats bobbing on a lake, with vendors paddling right up to diners along the shore.
A silky rice congee is topped with a generous mix of fish slices, jellyfish strips, fried dough sticks, peanuts, and scallion.
Why it's made this way: The dish originated with Tanka boat-dwelling communities on Guangzhou's Liwan Lake, using freshly caught river ingredients.
