This stir-fried pork liver is visually appealing and intensely flavorful, a super appetizing and satisfying home-style dish. Pork liver is rich in iron, effectively replenishing the raw materials needed for blood production, making it especially suitable for people with anemia, helping to improve symptoms such as insufficient blood and pale complexion. It also contains abundant vitamin A, B vitamins, and minerals such as zinc and selenium, which can protect eyesight, relieve eye fatigue, aid metabolism, and boost immunity. In the Sichuan and Chongqing regions, stir-fried pork liver is as famous as stir-fried pork kidney, a highly representative local dish. The high-heat, quick stir-fry method locks in the tender texture of the pork liver while preserving its nutrients to the maximum extent. Paired with side dishes such as wood ear mushrooms and green peppers, the flavor is rich and layered, savory and delicious. Serve with rice and you'll easily eat two bowls – a true rice-eating machine!

A refreshing soup mixed with the aroma of sliced meat and salted egg is a great choice for summer soup
Two types of pork dumplings—one filled with minced pork mixed with soaked black (white-back) fungus and fried garlic, the other with pork mixed with chopped Chinese chives and garlic—each crowned with a shrimp piece. They’re wrapped in wonton skins, boiled until tender, and best dipped in aged black vinegar.
Sichuan cured pork belly—that's a longing etched into the DNA of every Sichuanese. In previous years, we'd eat cured pork belly made from pigs raised by our neighbors back home. Those pigs were raised for over a year, so they were incredibly fatty; the fat slices alone were as wide as a hand, making it quite a hefty meal. This year, I decided to make it myself—a down-to-earth, family-style version. I specifically chose leaner cuts of pork, finally achieving "cured pork belly freedom"! Look at this! The layers of fat are distinct, golden and translucent, glistening with oil—it makes my mouth water just looking at it. Unlike the dark, charred kind from smoking back home, this is clean and easy to wash. A close sniff reveals a subtle cypress aroma mixed with the numbing fragrance of Sichuan peppercorns. Steaming it releases a rich, smoky flavor that fills the room. The fatty parts are tender and not greasy, while the lean parts are firm and chewy—every bite is the taste of home.
Braised Pork Belly with Potatoes (Potato Stew with Pork) is a classic home-style dish. It's stewed with soy sauce, mirin, and sugar, resulting in tender pork belly and potatoes and carrots that have absorbed the essence of the sauce, creating a soft, fluffy texture and a rich, sweet flavor. This dish is served piping hot and is very appetizing, making it perfect for family cooking.
