This has something to do with the handed down Hakka culture Because they are immigrants Come here to build their own home What is the greatest wish? It's a family reunion This ball is the meaning reunion Dip in some meat and try it This sauce is quite tasty After eating the meatballs, here comes Meicai Kourou look at this feeling Duang Duang melt-in-the-mouth Thin, Crispy, Fat, Soft Then uncover the Mei vegetables at the bottom very fragrant This dish needs no introduction many people like to eat It is a must-have dish for a banquet I feel like this dish is in Chinese cuisine Definitely the first tier like Kung Pao Chicken or Fish-flavored shredded pork And this are the first tier One piece rotted so fragrant eat this dish I tell you eat against the wall this why One piece will make people faint you sit here and turn over fell down eat against the wall too exaggerated Anyway, we are going south and north It's like I haven't eaten anything Just eating meat is not good Must have some Mei vegetables Mei vegetables absorbs the fat of the meat The meat absorbs the fragrance of the Mei vegetables This dish is absolutely amazing I don't know who did the research The perfect combination of meat and vegetarian Reminds me like leeks and pork stuffing Dumplings stuffed with leeks and pork are also a perfect combination pork belly with vegetables is famous There are two theories about its origin A saying comes from Su Dongpo Su Dongpo likes to eat pork a lot of pork From Dongpo Meat Derived from Dongpo Meat This is one There is also a saying that it comes from the Central Plains Kaifeng, Henan there is a dish called Mustard Meat Mustard Meat is very similar to this mustard greens on top and steamed also deducted Let's get a thin piece and Mei vegetables dip in this sauce I think the sauce is good It's not delicious Actually, I don't think either statement is accurate why Because it's done all over the country Like this Mustard Meat Let's say this dish is in Sichuan Sichuan cuisine is called Roasted White It's also a bit like Mei vegetables under the Roasted White not actually it is used sprouts or salted vegetables Except for Roasted White Shaoxing in Zhejiang what is this dish called It's called moldy dried vegetables and buckwheat meat This moldy mold it's not Mei vegetables either What kind of mustard greens or large leaf greens are usually can do This Mei vegetable is just a general term For example, you can make Mei vegetables For example, you can make mustard greens And Xuelihong And even large-leaf greens even cabbage or radish leaf all can do But you came to Meizhou This Mei vegetables People make it with Mei vegetables seriously What is this fresh Mei vegetables? It's a bit like mustard greens belonging to the same plant family How did Mei vegetables get its name? There are two statements One is the origin It's Huizhou and Meizhou So it's called Mei Another saying is that in ancient times A fairy descended from heaven This fairy is called Mei Xiangu She gave the seeds of Mei vegetables So it's called Mei All over the country we don't say what kind of dishes are made from But this production process is quite troublesome Many people eat this dish Never thought about how this Mei vegetables came to be I tell you At least three steaming and three drying Three plus three equals six Six processes The troublesome thing is nine steaming and nine drying Eighteen times to get this taste too complicated Make sure you wash it when you cook it why It is because it often contains a lot of sediment It's because it keeps taking it out to the sun sometimes on the road Sometimes drying on a pole There will be some dust, sand must be cleaned Otherwise, take a sip Tooth fell out Look at what I've said so much How is this dish delicious? can't stutter I really have to lean against the wall for a while Otherwise, I will turn over in no time we have to have rice Or eat it with buns coming This rice is farm rice farm brown rice more fragrant good, fragrance The white one we usually eat is polished rice Not really fragrant This is delicious Coming to Guangdong not only became a handsome boy again Gotta take the bottle cap to eat look at this meat Two pieces directly to the top cover look at this oil All this fragrant oil is poured into it Now lift the cap up eyes closed Just pull it up your throat a bit exaggerated Try this stuffed tofu When you come to Hakka, this is a must-eat Hakka dish I didn't expect this dish to be so delicious I thought it was tasteless Because when the sister did There's not much seasoning in it Just some soy sauce and chopped green onion and garlic This dish is called Niang tofu What is Niang? Just stuff the meat in it Also read Rang in some places This dish is one of the famous Hakka three Niang One is stuffed tofu Another is stuffed bitter gourd Dig a hole for the bitter gourd put the meat in And the stuffed eggplant box Hakka food has a characteristic just love casserole Both dishes are made in a casserole Boil it to make it more delicious It will not destroy the original taste and nutrition of the ingredients eat authentic tofu tastes like tofu chicken tastes like chicken Why do Hakka people like to eat stuffed vegetables? there is a saying After they migrated here family reunion At that time, the reunion of northerners must have dumplings But there is no wheat then what should they do Just take the tofu and stuff the stuffing in it Just imitate the form of making dumplings For example, all kinds of things can be plugged chili, eggplant, lotus root Hakka cuisine loves to eat stuffed vegetables love to cook with casserole What is another feature? It's heavy oil and heavy salt Just look at the oil in here so much oil And this dish is quite salty why is this It's because his ancestors came here rebuild home Home from scratch Everyday is heavy Eat something greasy and salty can be appetizing These dishes are quite salty Although people who say this can't eat spicy food There is one dish that is wonderful This dish is so bland How quiet is it? stop talking about oil no salt There's no salt in this dish It's Niangjiu chicken This dish is stewed with Niang wine and chicken Added some ginger choke this smell Chickens is also fresh The flesh is firm why not add salt? This is the dish for women who are confinement it's a supplement The chicken soup was meant to be supplemented It's even better with the addition of the Niang wine Why is Niang wine a tonic? just this thing the Nanny wine In fact, this wine is a kind of yellow wine Add a lot of dates and angelica just like a drug Why is this wine called Niang wine? There are two sayings One is that it used to be done by a woman in the family For example, a mother, such as a wife, do it Another is when a woman is confinement Nourish body and drink this wine Or make this Niangjiu chicken So it is said that Niangjiu has a relationship with women But this In fact, men can drink Ordinary gatherings, or festival drink this It's the first time that Axing drinks Niang wine we taste very choking It has a sweet taste in it sweet when it comes back Although Axing is not good at drinking But we can eat chicken, right? Lots of wine in it As soon as it evaporates, the smell is gone no more alcohol eat directly try the chicken thighs first no salt very fragrant It's just the smell of Niang wine Then there's the ginger flavor This dish is weird Although it has no salt But you still feel the smell in it It's because of the alcohol very mellow It's delicious I said for a long time, to eat quickly It's not delicious if the pork is cold for a while Okay, I'm done with this Hakka home-cooked meal It tastes like a farmhouse All four dishes are delicious In the hall after eating Chatting with big brother over tea Brother told me a story I was so moved when I heard it There were two elderly people a few years ago Both brothers are in their 80s come to eat here Where did these two old men come from? from Mauritius It is because many of people here went to Nanyang before These two old people belong to the country go back their hometown Get off the plane from the airport took a taxi All the way to the village I don't know where the old man lives After seeing their old ancestral home came to eat here Specially ordered this radish ball After the two old men finished eating They hugged their heads and cried with tears the brother describe to me that startled him He thought there was something wrong with the radish balls The old man told him The radish balls you made taste like this One bite reminds me The taste my grandma made for me when I was young How did my childhood live here Suddenly remembered vividly So I suddenly thought same food Everyone tastes different travel all over the world most attractive to you What do you think is the best taste?
