Hakka delicacies
Hakka braised bamboo shoots
Large pieces of freshly picked Makino bamboo shoots, after braising, absorb the essence of preserved pickled mustard leaf and the broth. This Hakka dish gives the elegant aroma of bamboo shoots as well as the retro flavor of preserved pickled mustard leaf. It is truly a classic!
Hakka stir-fry
This Hakka signature dish is made by first stir-frying pork belly and dried tofu on high heat, then adding dried squid, and finally sautéing with chili peppers, celery, and green onions. A classic dish with layers of flavors is ready to be served!
Hakka rice balls
Hakka rice balls are mainly a savory dish. The soup is added with finely chopped leeks, celery, fried shallots, mushrooms, and lean pork. Combined with the white and round glutinous rice balls, this dish is perfectly flavorful.
