Orh Nee (芋泥) is the Teochew banquet dessert — the dish that closes wedding dinners, ancestral offerings and reunion meals across the Teochew diaspora.74% steamed yam, mashed and fo lded with palm oil and a measured amount of sugar until the paste turns glossy and silky enough to coat a spoon. Studded with gingko nuts, the bittersweet finish that marks a proper Teochew kitchen.Serve warm in small bowls at the end of a meal. A symbol of prosperity, sweetness and continuity — eaten slowly.
