Hakka fermented tofu, also known as minced meat fermented tofu and Dongjiang fermented tofu, is one of the famous Hakka dishes. It is said that it is related to dumplings in the north. Usually, the fried tofu or white tofu is cut into small pieces, a small hole is dug in the middle of each piece of tofu, and the seasonings such as mushrooms, minced meat, scallion and garlic are used to fill in the hole, then it is cooked in a casserole over low heat for a long time, and then it is served with MSG, pepper and other seasonings.

The unique characteristics of Hakka fermented tofu are closely related to its strict production technology. "Niang" is a Hakka verb, which means "implant stuffing", and "Niang tofu" means "tofu with meat stuffing". Hakka fermented tofu tastes delicious. It's filled with meat, such as fish and shrimps, to increase the taste and chew

.

Hakka fermented tofu is tender, smooth, fragrant and nutritious.

Dongjiang fermented tofu originated from the habit of making dumplings in ancient Central Plains. The Hakka ancestors were originally Han people in Central Plains. Dongjiang fermented tofu is the product of Lingnan culture and Central Plains culture.

In 2015, Hakka fermented tofu cooking skills were listed in the Sixth Batch of municipal intangible cultural heritage list of Huizhou City.

History of dishes

Hakka ancestors used to live in the Central Plains, where they produced wheat and used flour to make dumplings. Later, because of the war and other reasons, Hakka ancestors moved to the south to live. Lingnan produces more rice, less wheat and less flour. Making tofu has become a substitute for dumplings.

Hakka ancestors thought of mincing pork into stuffing, using tofu instead of flour, stuffing into tofu, just like dumplings.

Because of its delicious taste, it has become a famous Hakka dish, and now it is also a home dish on the Hakka table.
