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.
Pork RibsPork ribs are part of a pig's spine, typically including meat and bones.

Common seasonings like soy sauce, cooking wine, and ginger slices are added to enhance flavor.
Frog LegsFrogs legs, known for their tender texture and delicious flavor, are the main ingredient in this dish.
