Dishes
Dried Green BeansDry beans are made by sun-drying fresh beans until they lose moisture, resulting in a deep green or yellow-brown color. Before cooking, they must be soaked in water to restore their softness. They are commonly stewed with meat, absorbing the meat juices to become flavorful, and can also be stir-fried or used in soups.
Pork RibsPork ribs are part of a pig's spine, typically including meat and bones. To prepare them, rinse the ribs and blanch them to remove any odor, then cook using methods such as stewing, boiling, roasting, or frying. Common seasonings like soy sauce, cooking wine, and ginger slices are added to enhance flavor.
