During a training session on Traditional Chinese Medicine's "Medicine and Food Have the Same Origin" (Chinese Medicine and Food), the instructor specifically mentioned that "Pitaya Flower Soup" is a signature Cantonese summer soup! (It was only through the training that I learned that "Pitaya Flower" is actually the flower of the dragon fruit.) Pitaya Flower itself clears heat and moistens the lungs, acting like a "cooling air conditioner" for your respiratory tract. Drinking this soup can be incredibly soothing for a dry cough in the summer. Pork bones replenish calcium and protein, and with our high daily activity levels, drinking this soup can boost our energy. Carotene, known as "little ginseng," is rich in vitamin A, which can relieve dry eyes and brighten skin. Apricot kernels and figs moisten the lungs, relieve coughs, and aid digestion. After a heavy barbecue hot pot meal, a bowl of this soup can also help alleviate stomach discomfort. This summer soup clears heat and moisturizes dryness, while also nourishing the body, making it suitable for the whole family. Those who appreciate life and appreciate the "sigh" (enjoyment) of life should definitely try this summer soup!
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!
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!"

I went to the provincial capital to find food before, and a dish of braised duck with ginger oil made me "dizzy"! The price of 150 yuan per case is only a few pieces of meat, which made me, a meat lover, say "my wallet is crying". After returning, I immediately started the "food reproduction plan". After many experiments, I finally reproduced this delicacy! The improved version reduces the amount of oil used, but retains 95% of the original flavor, successfully turning this restaurant's hard dish into a home-cooked delicacy~ The essence of braised duck with ginger oil is to use a large amount of ginger slices to stir-fry the mellow ginger oil, which can not only completely remove the fishy smell, but also stimulate the unique aroma. The duck meat is slowly stewed with ginger oil. The skin is slightly chewy, but the inside is tender and juicy. Every fiber is full of salty, fragrant and slightly sweet thick sauce. The moment the lid is opened, the rich fragrance hits you in the face. Eating it with white rice is simply the ultimate enjoyment of the taste buds! Come and see my reproduction results (compare pictures at the end of the article)
