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.
Five-Spice Boiled PeanutsFive-spice boiled peanuts is a cold dish made primarily from peanuts. After soaking, the peanuts are boiled and seasoned with five-spice powder and salt. They are typically cooked in water or broth to absorb flavor and achieve a soft, tender texture.

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.
