The Essence of Hakka Culinary Tradition

Hakka cuisine, with its distinctive traits of being “salty, fragrant, oily, and rich,” embodies the rich cultural heritage of the Hakka people. At Hakshan Cuisines, we are proud to bring this tradition to the forefront of our culinary offerings. The staples of rice and sweet potatoes, consumed more in their dry form than as porridge, highlight the pragmatic approach of the Hakka, whose historical roots lie in the mountainous and border areas, distant from the sea. This geographical influence is evident in their preference for livestock meat, offal, and a vibrant array of vegetables that dominate their diet, giving rise to the unique pickling culture that is quintessentially Hakka.

Salinity: A Key Feature in Hakka Cooking

The prominence of salt in Hakka dishes is not just a flavor choice but a necessity borne out of practicality and lifestyle. Salt aids in food preservation, a vital aspect in times and areas where refrigeration was scarce. Additionally, given the physically demanding lives of the Hakka people, the saltiness in their diet played a crucial role in replenishing the salts lost through hard labor and perspiration. This emphasis on a salt-rich diet is a hallmark we at Hakshan Cuisines carefully preserve, honoring the heritage and needs of the Hakka ancestors.
