■ Dish Story
Meizhou’s preserved mustard is made from large vegetables, which distinguishes it from the
Huizhou’s version. Some people refer to Meizhou’s preserved mustard as “meicai”, while others
believe the name originated from a girl named Amei in the village who made particularly delicious
mustard. Mei city’s preserved mustard require soaking, drying and then steaming, and is available
in both lightly dried and original flavours.
