Hakka dish: Radish Cake
It might be more fitting to rename radish cake as an extra-long version of sticky rice dumpling. The Hakka people love it for its nourishing properties—they rely on its ability to clear phlegm and regulate qi—while also appreciating its sweet taste and low price. Plus, it serves as the Hakka version of New Year’s cake.
Whether during festivals or at everyday meals, it’s best to eat it quickly and while it’s fresh. Sticky rice dough waits for no one—only freshly steamed radish cake is the most chewy. The fragrance of sticky rice mingles with that of shrimp, shiitake mushrooms, and pork, making this home-style dish just as tender and tempting.
