melon ring stuffed with yam

"Melon rings stuffed with yam" is a fresh and elegant home-cooked dish. Cut the crisp and tender cucumber into even round slices, remove the middle part to make green "small rings", then mix the delicate and soft yam paste with minced meat and season it, roll it into round small balls, and firmly embed it in the cucumber rings. After steaming, the cucumber rings maintain a bright green color with a faint fragrance, while the yam meatballs in the middle absorb the essence of both, and the taste is soft and tender without losing chewiness. The whole dish is exquisitely shaped, and the yellow and green colors are particularly refreshing. The entrance has both the crispness of cucumbers and the denseness of yam and the freshness of minced meat. It is light and not greasy, and is suitable for both daily dishes and banquet side dishes.

Braised Pork Knuckle with Preserved Plum (Classic Cantonese Dish)

Braised pork trotters with preserved plums is a classic Cantonese dish that makes your mouth water just looking at it! The pork trotters are stewed until they're incredibly tender and fall off the bone easily, with a slightly chewy skin that bursts with juice when you bite into them. The sweet and sour flavor of the preserved plums perfectly balances the richness of the meat. Each piece is coated in a thick sauce, savory with a refreshing aftertaste, making it not greasy at all. You'll want to suck every last bit off the bone! It's perfect with rice or as a snack. My family always fights over it; it's a true rice-eating machine, and you'll want to lick the sauce off your chopsticks afterward!

Stir-fried kidney and shrimp

The hot oil is put into the pan, and the kidneys are fried on high heat. They have just the right amount of smoky smell, with a slightly charred edge and a springy texture inside. The fishy smell is driven away by the neat seasoning. The fresh shrimps next to them are even more attractive, with crispy shells that can be chewed directly, and firm and sweet shrimp meat that has absorbed the soup from the kidneys. Every bite is so fresh that it makes your eyebrows jump. The aroma of the two fresh things colliding in the pot goes straight to the tip of your nose. The richness of the kidneys and the freshness of the shrimps are intertwined, and with some scallions or red peppers to enhance the flavor, it is so delicious that you can't stop eating with your chopsticks~
