Sichuan and Chongqing mixed rice noodle steamed banquet

When you eat steamed pork with rice flour outside, it's either just steamed pork or just steamed pork ribs with rice flour. It's unlike making it at home, where you can add whatever you want! My portion includes steamed pork with rice flour, pork ribs, and pork belly. The pork belly's soft, glutinous skin, coated in rice flour, melts in your mouth. For a savory bite, try the pork ribs, where the spiciness of the bones is infused with the flavor of spices. For a leaner dish, try the pork belly, which is firm, flavorful, and not too dry. It perfectly captures all the flavors. And since it's homemade, the seasoning is generous, and the flavor comes purely from the ingredients and the care put into making it. If you like spicy food, add chili powder for a satisfying flavor. Every bite is satisfying, and it's much more satisfying than the monotonous portions you get out there! Speaking of Sichuan and Chongqing steamed pork with rice flour, it's a favorite dish of the locals. When dining at a restaurant in Sichuan and Chongqing, the first thing you'll hear as you enter is, "Boss, give me some steamed pork with rice flour. I want the delicious kind!"

Whether you are entertaining guests or having a family dinner, this dish instantly elevates the banquet and is definitely the "C position" on the table!

Deodorization: The fishy smell must be effectively removed to ensure that the fish tastes pure and sweet. 3. Ingredient selection: It is recommended to choose sea bass with few bones, thick meat and firm meat, which can not only ensure the convenience and pleasure of eating, but also facilitate the formation of dishes. Of course, you can also choose other suitable fish species according to your personal preferences. 4. Sweet and sour sauce blending: When preparing sweet and sour sauce, try to follow the proportion of the formula.
