stir-fried beef with bitter melon

Stir-fried Beef with Bitter Melon presents a contrasting blend of savory and bitter flavors: gently seasoned beef blends with bitter melon, which, after being cooked, retains its distinctive hint of bitterness. The crunchy texture of the bitter melon and the tender slices of meat create harmony in every bite, while shallots, garlic, and ginger add a warm, appetizing aroma. This dish is considered healthy and quick to prepare, but requires extra attention to the process of pressing and sautéing the bitter melon to avoid an overly bitter taste and to prevent overcooking the meat.

Sichuan and Chongqing salty braised pork

Sichuan and Chongqing's salty shaobai (rice shao) is a melt-in-your-mouth pork belly. The fatty, glutinous pork belly is not greasy at all, while the lean pork belly is perfectly flavorful. The chopped bean sprouts are salty and fragrant, with a crisp and flavorful chew. Mixed with the pork belly, the combination of salty and sweet flavors is so fragrant it's almost intoxicating! In Sichuan and Chongqing, this dish is a common dish at banquets and restaurants. I, a meat-averse person, saw this shaobai (rice shao) at my grandmother's house and tried a piece. My eyes widened, and I devoured the entire plate! Since then, I've become a true meat-eater. Every time I go back to my grandmother's house, the first thing I shout is, "I want shaobai!"
