Chaoshan winter cuisine is a Chaozhou cuisine condiment pickled by Chinese cabbage and garlic. The pickling method is to cut the core petal of Chinese cabbage into pieces, sun-dry it until it is half dry, and then pickle it with salt and garlic. Its main function is as a condiment for Chaozhou cuisine, Chaoshan snacks and soup foods.

Early Chaoshan winter vegetables were all trafficked from Tianjin. During the period to War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Lianyang Fair Sufu Factory in Chenghai County hired Tianjin technicians to start producing winter vegetables. Since then, Beijing-Tianjin Chinese cabbage (also known as winter vegetables) has also been introduced to Chaoshan for planting. Chaoshan winter vegetables are still rich in Lianyang area, and are famous for their delicious taste. Every year, a considerable number of them are sold all over the world.
