Dishes
Pork BellyPork belly is a cut of meat from the pig's abdomen, characterized by alternating layers of fat and lean meat, which gives it the name 'five-layered' or 'five-striped'. Common cooking methods include braising, stir-frying, or stewing. During cooking, the fat melts, resulting in tender meat with an aromatic flavor.
Rural Earth Stove PotA traditional Chinese home-style dish cooked slowly over a rural earth stove, featuring pork belly, potatoes, vermicelli, and green peppers.
