Recipes with 1 tablespoon lard
A classic hearty dish from Sichuan and Chongqing's traditional outdoor banquets, "Jia Sha Rou" (stuffed pork belly with red bean paste) is a must-have for the New Year's Eve dinner table! Slices of fatty, tender pork belly are wrapped around smooth red bean paste, steamed with brown sugar and glutinous rice until soft and flavorful. It's sweet, rich, and not greasy at all, and the pork skin soaks up the broth, becoming incredibly tender and chewy. Its sweet taste is suitable for all ages, and it's always in high demand. A perfect dish for entertaining guests, whether at a traditional outdoor banquet or New Year's Eve dinner, it instantly adds a festive atmosphere to the table.
In Sichuan and Chongqing, this braised rice dish is known as "Kong Fan." Braised pumpkin, dried mushrooms, and rice create a golden rice dish that blends the sweetness of pumpkin with the savory flavors of mushrooms and minced meat. The crispy texture of rice crust and the chewy, soft texture of pumpkin create a truly delicious dish. Even without the added ingredients, you'll still be left wanting more!
Take a bite of oyster omelette, and the crispy, charred crust melts in your mouth. The plump oysters, like little bombs, pop with a burst of freshness! The egg is slippery, the chopped green onions add a burst of flavor, and the fish sauce makes it so fragrant you want to weld your cheeks to the plate. This is a classic Chaoshan delicacy! Our local area is close to the sea, so oysters are fresh and affordable. Selling them outside can be incredibly expensive, and the freshness of the ingredients is often a struggle. Making them at home is a breeze, with genuine ingredients and an incredible value. Make as many as you want, with plenty of fresh oysters to spare, and fry up a plate full of them for instant oyster omelette freedom!
