Sichuan and Chongqing-style Braised Pork Knuckle with Sticky Rice and Tiger Skin (Two Flavors)

This braised pork knuckle with tiger skin is truly impressive—it's the star dish of any large banquet, and in a restaurant, it's a high-end, impressive dish that holds its own. Placed on the table, its glossy, dark red skin wrinkles into beautiful "tiger skin" patterns, sprinkled with tempting scallions—just looking at it makes your mouth water! The meat falls off your chopsticks with a "plop," the skin tender and the meat succulent, not greasy at all—it's like a "gentle paradise" stuffed into your mouth. If you dip it in the light dipping sauce, it's a "refreshing and cleansing" version; the slightly spicy and sour sauce coats the meat, like a cool breeze on your tongue. If you drizzle it with the thick sauce, it's a "sweet and passionate" version; the rich sauce clings to the meat, every bite is a savory blend of soy sauce and meat, like a "sweet embrace" for your taste buds. If you master this skill, serving it to guests at home will guarantee you'll be surrounded by people praising it until you blush! 😂 Which flavor do you prefer?

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!"

Spicy and Fragrant Double-Flavor Grilled Fish

"On the left is the non-spicy seafood sauce section: the aroma of freshness hits your nose as soon as it's served. The fish is soaked in the sweet fragrance of seafood sauce, so tender it trembles when you pick it up with chopsticks. My child immediately started gnawing on the fish belly, even chewing the lotus root slices soaked in the sauce with a satisfying crunch, exclaiming, 'Mom, this is even better than what you get at restaurants!'—the seafood sauce gives the vegetables a subtle sweetness, light yet not bland at all. My child even ate rice faster than usual. On the right is our spicy dry pot section: the aroma of the dry pot ingredients fills the kitchen as soon as the sauce is poured on. The fish skin is grilled until slightly crispy, bursting with juice with every bite when coated in spicy oil. Even the celery stalks are infused with the spicy fragrance, becoming more flavorful the longer they cook. In the end, even the last bit of sauce at the bottom of the pot..." It had to be poured over rice and polished clean. The moment this pot of fish was served, the kids on the left exclaimed, "Mmm, this is so tender!" while we on the right were shouting, "Wow, this is so spicy and delicious!" The divider clearly separated the flavors; some were tender, some were fragrant. Even the usually picky kid devoured the lotus root slices. We used a special grill pan for fish that can be heated directly. It bubbled and steamed as soon as the flame was turned on, making it incredibly satisfying to eat and cook at the same time—the kids on the left were plucking at the tender, seafood-flavored fish, while we on the right were enjoying the juicy, spicy pieces of fish, taking a sip of wine, the spicy aroma mingling with the wine's fragrance, enveloped in the warmth—it was so addictive! If you don't have this special pan, a small alcohol stove with a regular grill pan works just as well, filling the air with a smoky, hearty atmosphere. Life is just too good!

Nanchang Mixed Rice Noodles

The moment this bowl of Nanchang mixed rice noodles is served, the aroma fills your nostrils. Each strand of rice noodle is coated in a glistening sauce, springy and chewy, with the rich flavor of the blended sesame oil and the spiciness of the chili oil. The crispness of the dried radish, the caramelized aroma of the peanuts, and the freshness of the cilantro unfold in layers in your mouth, becoming more fragrant with each chew. Its status as a national delicacy stems from the meticulous care put into this bowl of noodles: the blended oil is the essence of vegetables and spices simmered for 15 minutes; the blended soy sauce is a savory-sweet flavor achieved by simmering rock sugar and spices; and it's paired with readily available chili oil—every seasoning is carefully blended. This seemingly simple bowl of mixed noodles embodies an ultimate pursuit of the essence of everyday life; one bite and you'll understand why it's so popular across the country.
