Rice cakes are a versatile culinary delight. In Sichuan and Chongqing, they're used in hot pot and can be added to rice wine-fried eggs for a unique flavor. Compared to Korean rice cakes, this Chinese version is my favorite; it's more to my taste. If Sichuan and Chongqing bacon aren't available, don't worry! Substituting fried eggs and ham (which works perfectly) creates a unique and delicious experience. The golden fried eggs, with their charred aroma and the salty, chewy ham, stir-fried with rice cakes and vegetables, create a rich and harmonious flavor. The fried rice cakes are imbued with the aroma of the ingredients. A bite of them is soft, chewy, and the salty, fragrant flavor spreads across your tongue. It may seem ordinary, but it's incredibly satisfying. I'll instantly fall in love with this simple yet delicious Chinese rice cake.

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)

Selected tender beef parts are quickly stir-fried to lock in the juice. It goes well with rice and is appetizing. Everyone who eats it will praise the deliciousness.
