A small bowl of pork trotter with ginger warms the body and dispels wind, especially during autumn and winter—after all, putting on weight in autumn helps protect against the cold in winter! This delicious pork trotter with ginger is quite delicate to prepare. If preparing for someone confinement, start soaking the ginger two weeks in advance, bringing it to a boil daily and then turning it off. Soak for at least a week to fully unleash the ginger's aroma. My week-long pot of pork trotter with ginger is simply enticing: the trotter is a translucent brown, tender yet slightly chewy, and the flavor grows with every bite. The egg has a deep brown outer shell, but when cut open, the yolk is a firm orange-yellow, and even the core is imbued with the flavor of ginger vinegar. The ginger is crumb-free and not as spicy as those sold outside; it's refreshing and refreshing. The broth is just right—not sour, bitter, sweet, or thick—and even more flavorful than a carefully prepared broth. While Guangdong street vendors sell pig's trotters with plenty of ginger, a small piece of ginger, an egg, and a pig's trotter costs at least 20 yuan, and the flavor isn't quite there. It's nothing like home-cooked pork trotters, which are both affordable and flavorful, with every bite filled with heartfelt warmth. Speaking of which, in the month after my "divine beast" was born, we used a total of 150 pig's trotters! I just wanted to nourish my family, but the aroma filled the hallway. As if they had "smell radar," the neighbors would come to my house every day to "freeload" and take their meals away, treating me like a "makeshift pig's trotter delivery station." Everyone said my pig's trotters were so delicious they almost wanted to take the pot home with them!
This Sichuan-Chongqing konjac beer duck is perfect for those on a weight-conscious diet! The konjac's chewy texture is smooth and chewy, absorbing the fresh aroma of both the duck and beer.

The salty and savory flavors, combined with the spicy Sichuan peppercorns, make the dish even more delicious with every chew. The key is that the konjac is incredibly filling; just a few bites will fill your stomach. Paired with rice soaked in the sauce, it's a satisfying snack without the worry of gaining weight.

This passion fruit and pineapple juice pork ribs dish is a surprising and innovative flavorful creation I encountered while traveling in Nanning. After trying the local passion fruit pork ribs in Nanning, a core passion fruit producing area, I added homemade pineapple juice to elevate the flavor. The golden, translucent passion fruit shells serve as a delicate container, nestling the ribs, smothered in a rich sauce and sprinkled with white sesame seeds. The appearance alone is breathtaking. The sweetness of my homemade pineapple juice blends beautifully with the tartness of the passion fruit, softening the rich sauce flavor of the ribs and allowing the dual fruity notes to spread across the palate. This dish boasts a refreshing tropical fruit flavor over the local original. Bromelain simmers the ribs until they are tender and flavorful, and each bite offers a delicate balance of sweet and sour, salty, and savory, creating a unique flavor experience. Although the price of this dish in the local area is a bit pricey - almost a hundred dollars, once you have tasted it, you will know that it is worth the money. Once you have tasted it, you will never forget it!
