During the New Year's Festival or leisure time, Hakka people will make some delicacies at home to entertain guests, give away relatives and friends, and eat themselves. Bacon, dried vegetables, refreshments, stuffed vegetables, salt baking, meatballs and more are all traditional delicacies of the Hakka family.
In autumn and winter, in the courtyard in front of the Hakka house, on the upper floor, you can see sausages, bacon, fish, duck, dried mustard and dried radish, which are daily food and festival necessities.
Every year before the Spring Festival, my sister-in-law in meizhou hometown always loves to make all kinds of wax flavors, bringing us brothers and sisters who are far away in Shenzhen, so that we can feel the deliciousness and affection in our hometown.
Hakka dried pickles and dried radish are very delicious and I love to eat them. Our family not only liked to eat, but also learned how to make mustard greens and radishes to make their own Hakka-style dried pickles and dried radishes.
Dried pickles in Meixian are made with mustard greens, and after the fresh mustard is dried, it is sprinkled with coarse salt, and then packed in a jar, and in more than a month it becomes a pickle, which can be used to stir-fry and stew meat. If you steam it ten times, you can make dried pickles, also known as plum vegetables, and made together with buckle meat, it has become a unique dish on the Hakka table--- plum vegetable buckle meat.
Dried radish is a white radish cut into pieces, dried until soft cooked, sprinkled with coarse salt, put into a jar and encapsulated, and soon become an authentic dish--- dried radish, can be eaten directly or fried, fried meat to eat. I have an altar in my home, take some out from time to time, cut into small pieces, put oil into a pot and fry, put into a bowl, eat some at each meal, rationalize, help digestion, is a very good healthy food.
Hakka tea fruit is a pasta dish, different from the northern steamed buns, buns, commonly made of radish shredded, peanut crumbles, sesame seeds, eyebrow beans, glutinous rice flour, sticky rice flour mixed. Tea fruit, also known as 粄, is a regular refreshment in the festival, according to the festival, the production and shape of tea fruit will be different. The process of making Hakka tea fruit and the traditional meaning given to it are still inherited and passed down by modern Hakka people.
During the Spring Festival, the tea fruit will be stamped with the word "Xi", also known as "Xi Yu", symbolizing the joy and harmony, reunion; during the Qingming Festival, the wormwood leaves and glutinous rice flour picked from the mountains are used to process and make "Ai Bao", praying for the blessing of the heavens and ancestors, and has the function of expelling evil qi; if someone in the family is married, it is also necessary to use tea and fruit as table food for the guests to enjoy, in order to show their joy. In the past, it was unimaginable that a Hakka daughter-in-law would not make tea fruits.
