#Ginger
For the Hakka people, ginger is very useful. Every year in late winter and early spring, buried the seeds with ginger sprouts, and it will grow young ginger within 4-5 months. Once if we don’t harvest the ginger for several months, it will turn into old ginger. What if we leave the ginger over year, it then will become the so-called “Aged Ginger.”


#Mustard Green
A layer of coarse salt and a layer of leaf mustard marinated with a big rock, it will become sauerkraut within two weeks to two months. Took out the sauerkraut, solarizing until fully-dried, and then loaded in the jar for about three to six months, it then turns in to “Fu-Cai.” If the jar is stored for over a year, it may become the so-called “Fermenting Mustard Green,” which the high quality fermenting mustard green will emanate the fascinating plum-flavored aroma.
#Braised Pork with Preserved Vegetable
As the most representative Hakka dishes, the Hakka braised pork with preserved vegetable should emphasize the plum-flavored aroma.
