First course: salted noodles
If each region has its own representative breakfast, then the Hakka breakfast representative must be salty noodles.

Second course: Baked chicken with salt.
Hakka people are most familiar with and unforgettable about salty roast chicken. Almost every place has its own unique cuisine to treat chicken. Hakka people created this unique food with their own wisdom. Living in mountainous areas with harsh environment all the year round, heavy physical labor makes Hakka people prefer salty and fragrant, and salted chicken is the ultimate embodiment of this taste. So,
In fact, the practice of baking chicken with salt is a delicate and simple contradiction. First of all, prepare to fry a large pot of sea salt until it is brown, dry the water in the salt thoroughly, and then transfer it to a casserole for heat preservation. Then we can deal with the whole chicken. First of all, the whole chicken needs to be blanched in boiling water with cooking wine and onion ginger to remove the fishy smell, and then quickly cooled in ice water. This step is to let the chicken cool down.
After the chicken is processed, first use kitchen paper to absorb the excess water of the chicken itself, then wrap the whole chicken tightly with toilet paper or kraft paper, put it in pre-fried sea salt, then cover the casserole and bake it slowly with low fire. After about an hour, the chicken can be cooked.
There are two ways to eat salted chicken. It is gentle to cut into pieces and put them on a plate, but the most respected way is to tear them by hand, because tearing them by hand will not destroy the fiber of chicken. This kind of salted chicken is not only salty, but also more enjoyable to eat.
The third way: radish pills
Radish in Hakka cuisine is very different from that in other places. Because of the fertile soil in Hakka area, the radish planted here is not only sweet and delicious, but also rich in nutritional value. Whether cooking or making soup, radish is an indispensable and delicious vegetable on the dining table in this season, among which radish meatballs made of radish as the main raw material are classic works and one of the main dishes of daily side dishes or banquets.
The production method of radish balls is also relatively simple, but it will take a long time. First, stir-fry minced meat and mushrooms with lard for later use, then clean the whole radish, peel it and knead it into silk, add appropriate amount of salt and knead it repeatedly to squeeze out the water inside the radish. This step is actually to make radish more tasty, and at the same time, in the process of steaming, too much water can easily make radish balls collapse into a ball.
When the water is almost dry, mix the previously fried ingredients into shredded radish and mix well. At the same time, after adding cassava powder and stirring, it can be kneaded into radish pills with the same size according to personal habits and needs.
Finally, put the rubbed radish balls in a pot and steam them. When eating, it is usually dipped in soy sauce or Chili sauce, and there is no need to deliberately season it, because radish balls eat the sweet and original taste of radish.
Number four: Braised pork with plum vegetables.
Braised pork with plum sauce, like brine chicken, is one of the well-known representatives of Hakka cuisine and a common home-cooked dish of Hakka people. However, it takes a little tedious work to make this dish well. Braised pork with plum sauce, as one of the most delicious Hakka dishes, contains the beautiful pursuit of Hakka food life behind the seemingly complicated and cumbersome practices.
First, we need to prepare a whole piece of pork belly with skin, then dried plums, Jiang Mo, star anise and chopped green onion made of Hakka plums. Punch the pigskin evenly first, and then coat it with soy sauce. Then, after heating the oil, put the pigskin face down and fry it in the oil pan. When the pigskin is fried to crisp, take it out. What a good pigskin buckle needs to do is that the pigskin presents beautiful tiger skin patterns and has no burnt smell. Then, cut the pork into pieces one to two centimeters thick and put them into the bowl evenly.
When the pork is packaged, we need to chop the pre-soaked dried prunes and stir-fry them in the oil pan with Jiang Mo and star anise. Here, we can add some salt and sugar appropriately to stimulate the sweetness of plum vegetables. After frying, cover the plum vegetables in the bowl with wrapped pork, and then steam them in the pot. Cover it with a bigger plate after steaming and sprinkle with chopped green onion. A kind of instant, fat but not greasy plum vegetable, which has a strong sweetness, is very delicious because it absorbs enough fat in the pork belly.
Whether it's breakfast or dinner with friends and relatives, these Hakka dishes most often appear on the table of Hakka people. These four dishes are not only delicious, but also very simple to make. Even if we cook at home, we can get started quickly. As long as we work hard, we will find that cooking is not only difficult, but also brings infinite happiness.
