Salty and flavorful roasted chicken wings with fermented bean curd

As soon as these fermented bean curd chicken wings arrive, the aroma hits your nose! The skin is grilled to a gleaming shine, then crispy and tender. The salty aroma of fermented bean curd, combined with the gravy, wafts through your mouth, soaking up the flavor even between the bones. The best way to enjoy them is to just bite them with your hands, skipping chopsticks. You'll have to wipe the sauce off your fingers afterward, and then stare at the plate wondering, "Why didn't you grill a couple more?"

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 salty braised pork

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!"

Chicken rice

This "Chicken Thigh Rice" marinates boneless chicken thighs with scallion, ginger, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, sugar and a little oil, then puts them into a pot with washed rice, adds water to cover the rice, and cooks them in one click. The rice absorbs the sauce and chicken aroma, and each grain has a warm, salty and sweet taste. The chicken is tender and juicy; the fragrance of scallion and ginger is looming in the heat, adding layers. The whole thing is done in one pot, saving time and effort, and full of homely flavor, but you need to reserve about half an hour for marinating, and the ratio of water and marinade must be properly controlled to avoid the rice being too wet or the chicken being too salty/slightly dry.

Pork and Vegetable Dumplings

We have to set aside a lot of time to make dumplings at my house because everyone in the family loves eating dumplings, so we have to make a lot. This time we made two kinds of pork and vegetable dumplings: small tangcai and Chinese cabbage, and also topped them with mushrooms, dried shrimps, fungus and carrots, which are full of flavors and nutrients. Today's portion is relatively large. If you don't need such a large amount, you can reduce the ingredients proportionally.
