Hakka Cuisine

This is another great Hakka dish that I grew up with, and one of my childhood favourites my mom often cooked at home. I'm glad that now my family loves this dish too.

PORK BELLY WITH SALTED VEGETABLES 咸菜焖腩肉


The sour and salty flavor of the dish is not only great to go with white rice but also with congee which is appetizing to eat during summer time. Looking for congee ideas? Click here.

  2. Wow this again is a yummy dish, looks like the Filipino sinigang without the tamarind. Excellent recipe but where do I find salted vegetable? Is it available in Asian shops?
