The Aboriginal ‪Hakka‬ are well-known for their creative cooking. Duck stuffed with glutinous rice is perhaps one of the best examples of the creativeness of the Aboriginal ‪Hakka‬. The duck is carefully cooked and then the bones are removed. All this, while taking care not to alter the basic shape of the duck. Then the cavity of the duck is filled with glutinous rice, seasoned with many herbs. What you have is not only good Hakka cooking but fresh creativity in the market. A very popular snack for Taiwanese New Year is Fried pork with Fermented Tofu. This involves a two-part process and it a perfect example of some of the uniqueness of Aboriginal ‪Hakka‬ Cuisine. The pork is first marinated and then deep-fried. This process removes all the extra moisture from the meat. It is a type of preservation method. The pork is then stewed in water and Wood's Ear Fungus. Fermented Tofu is then added. This is the Hakka version of fast food at the market. Some refer to it as the Aboriginal ‪Hakka‬ "canned soup." Our third example of Aboriginal ‪Hakka‬ cooking is Ngiong Tew Foo. This dish showcases the complexities of Aboriginal Hakka cooking. It is one of the most popular dishes throughout Taiwan. The origins of Ngiong Tew Foo runs deep within the Hakka community. Tofu cubes are taken and heaps of minced pork, salted fish and herbs are added. This is then fried until the Tofu cubes are a golden brown in color. This is a fabulous example of the Hakka Cuisine of another time, brought into the present. It is delicious! It is a treat from the Aboriginal ‪Hakka‬ to Taiwan. Whether you call Taiwan home, are an International traveler, or just someone seeking adventure, you will want to explore the cuisine of the Hakka.
