I've never found it spicy in the least, which I prefer since I'm quite a coward when it comes to chili. This will be the first time I try to cook this. Does soaking the zha cai the way you do in the recipe fully remove the spiciness? And could I substitute zha cai for kiam chye (just the root parts)?

Maybe Hakka prefer to take salty food like salted fish, ikan bilis, dried shrimps, salted eggs, 'ham choy', 'dong choy', 'mui choy' and szechuan 'cai'. My in-laws love eating those dried cuttlefish as well! I'm 'kwang dong'! So, we have very different taste in food. Btw, hakka loves boiling soup with 'dai tou choy'!
