Hakka delicacies
Braised pork with dried pickled mustard leaf
This dish is made with specially selected Taiwanese black pork belly of 60% fat and with skin. The resulting dish is fatty but not greasy, without a hint of unpleasant smell, and it melts in the mouth. The slightly spicy taste and aroma go well with the rich flavor of dried pickled mustard leaf.
Stir-fried chitlins with ginger
This dish is made by stir-frying pig intestines, green onion, ginger, garlic, and pickled mustard leaf in a hot pan. A bite of the chewy intestine with ginger is tart, refreshing, and mouthwatering!
