The eating habit of Hakkas in Plain is three meals a day, and the staple food is rice. I used to cook rice in a pot in the morning, scoop it up with a colander and put it in a "rice cooker" for a day. Followed by taro, cassava, millet and so on.

Generally speaking, people usually focus on vegetables. Vegetables like fat and salty, and tofu is best "fat and salty". Every household in the countryside pickled vegetables. The production method is to dry mustard, marinate it with salt, then put it into an urn and seal the urn with leaves. This kind of pickles is a common dish on the farm table. Cooking food pays attention to color, aroma and taste, and seasoning with salt and soy sauce. Ginger, fermented grains, onion, garlic, pepper, vinegar, sugar, pepper, monosodium glutamate, potato powder, etc.

Hakka people like to eat braised dog meat. There are many dog meat stalls in county towns and rural small market towns. There are rural proverbs such as "dogs eat all the mountains in summer" and "sheep in winter and dogs in summer". In the past, there was a saying that dog meat was not served, which meant that dog meat could not be served in banquet dishes. The popular "dog hot pot" is a delicacy at the banquet.

Brine chicken, stuffed tofu, braised pork, meatballs, etc. They are all traditional foods with long-standing reputation and unique Hakka flavor, which have been widely circulated so far. Among them, salted chicken is tender, delicious and nourishing, and it is a famous dish commonly used in Hakka banquets.
