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.
Bright筋Liangjin is a dish primarily made with pig trotter tendons, which are soaked and then stewed or braised with辅料 like scallions and ginger to achieve a soft, elastic texture and rich broth.

Beef SkewersBeef skewers are made by cutting selected beef into chunks and threading them onto bamboo skewers.
