旧时，红焖肉是逢年过节才能享用的珍馐。人们常用祭拜祖先和神明后的大块猪肉来制作红
焖肉。大小适中的整块猪肉是制作红焖肉的不二选择。客家人操办喜事时，红焖肉更是不可
缺少的压轴佳肴之一，颜色红润，寓意红红火火，幸福美满。

■ Dish Story
In the past, red-braised pork could only be enjoyed during festivals occasions and was offered as
a tribute to ancestors and deities. Large pieces of pork were the best choice for making this dish.
For Hakka people, red-braised pork is an essential celebratory dish, often featured as the finale
dish. Its vibrant red colour symbolizes prosperity, happiness and a flourishing life.
