Lao Guang's Secret Pork Knuckle and Ginger

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 specialty crispy pork

Crispy pork is an indispensable meat dish at Sichuan and Chongqing family banquets and baba banquets, and is also a classic snack in Sichuan and Chongqing hot pot restaurants. The crispy pork just out of the pot is golden and crispy. It is sprinkled with pepper powder and eaten directly. It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fresh and juicy. Throw it into the boiling hot pot and absorb the spicy and fresh aroma of the beef oil soup base, tender and tasty. Put a few pieces when cooking the soup, and it will absorb the soup and become soft. Put it under the braised pork and steam it, and the meat fragrance and fat blend together, with a rich flavor.
