Many popular New Year foods such as sausage, cured meat or mala hotpot are both fatty and salty; pickled vegetables such as potherb mustard, cabbage, mustard greens or Hakka-style pickled mustard cabbage are overly salty, so one should try to use as little as possible and not forget to rinse them first.
此外，年節應景菜如香腸臘肉或麻辣鍋等，又油又鹹；雪裡紅、冬菜、客家福菜等醃菜則鹽分過高，最好儘量少用，用時別忘了多沖洗一下。
