Dishes
(New) Winter Melon and Lean Pork SoupThis is a light and nutritious soup, primarily made with winter melon and lean pork. The lean pork is thinly sliced or diced and marinated briefly with a little salt and starch. The winter melon is peeled, seeded, and cut into thick slices or chunks. Water or broth is brought to a boil in a pot, the pork is added and cooked until it changes color, and any scum is skimmed off. Then, the winter melon is added and simmered over medium-low heat until the melon becomes translucent and tender. Finally, salt is added to taste. The soup is clear, with tender winter melon and juicy lean pork, offering a light and savory flavor.
Country-style Pork Lard Cracklings Stir-fried Chinese Flowering CabbageThis dish features fresh Chinese flowering cabbage as the main ingredient, cooked with pork lard cracklings. The preparation involves rendering pork fat to obtain crispy cracklings, which are set aside. The cabbage is washed, cut into sections, and stir-fried over high heat in lard, then combined with the cracklings and seasoned simply with salt or a small amount of soy sauce. The finished dish is glossy, with tender-crisp cabbage and fragrant, crispy cracklings, highlighting the distinctive aroma of lard and rustic flavors.
