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?

Super juicy raw meat buns

~~When I was preparing the recipe for steamed buns, I was nervous - although I have a dim sum chef certificate, can I really teach you how to make steamed buns? It was not until I drank three bowls of wine and sang "Courage" loudly that I suddenly realized: the joy of food is to try it yourself! After all, homemade steamed buns are about the smell of fireworks, and you are not going to participate in a competition, so why bother? ~~In fact, every time I look at the steamed buns just out of the pot, they are white and plump, and the thin skin and large fillings are full of fresh fragrance. Even the children in the neighborhood chase after me and say they want to learn from me! With the help of this wine and the enthusiasm of the children, I will serve the steaming hot tutorial here~ If it is not perfect, I hope you kitchen friends will bear with me! The recipe made 16.

Sauce-infused, incredibly satisfying big bone to gnaw on.

The moment these braised pork ribs are placed on the table, the aroma is absolutely divine, far surpassing those restaurants that claim to have "secret family recipes"! The bones are stewed until tender and flavorful, the meat practically falling off the bone. Each bite is a delightful experience, the savory sauce layering and unfolding in your mouth, leaving even the bits of flavor lingering between the bones. The glossy reddish-brown sauce is incredibly tempting, each piece coated in a rich, flavorful broth. One bite, and the aroma of meat mingles with the fragrance of spices—pure bliss! Eating a piece like this outside would easily break the bank, leaving you no room to indulge. But making it at home, for the same price, you can buy several pounds of bones, stew a full pot, and enjoy it to your heart's content. You can even use the leftover broth to stew noodles and cabbage—the value is unbeatable. This down-to-earth delicacy is universally praised; you'll crave it after just one bite, making even the restaurant's "secret recipes" pale in comparison!

beef and vegetarian salad

The beef slices are light red, the preserved eggs are dark brown with white lines, and they are dotted with emerald green coriander and bright red chili peppers, creating a sharp contrast in color. The beef is chewy, the preserved eggs are smooth and slightly elastic, and the fresh fragrance of the seasoning wraps the ingredients, which is salty, fresh, slightly sour, and has a unique mellow feeling of preserved eggs. The more you chew, the more delicious it tastes.

Homemade slow-cooked fragrant brine

I really can't eat the braised dishes sold outside. I tried a Chaoshan bagged marinade that was popular on the Internet before, but the greasy smell was too strong when it was cooked, and I couldn't get used to it. It seems that you can't be lazy when making braised food. It's still more reliable to carefully prepare a pot of marinade yourself. After each braising, carefully filter out impurities, boil it, let it cool, and put it in the refrigerator for the next time. Why does the old braising become more fragrant as it is braised? First, the protein, amino acids, and fat of the ingredients will melt into the sauce during the braising process, and the flavor of the spices will be released repeatedly. Under the interaction, the taste becomes more and more intense and the layers are richer; second, the more times the braising is done, the spicy aroma of the spices in the marinade and the umami flavor of the ingredients will gradually balance and stabilize, and the braised food will naturally be more mellow. You should also pay attention to the storage of the old braising: filter and boil it for sterilization after each braising, seal it well and refrigerate or freeze it. It is recommended to use it within 1-2 weeks, and it is best to boil it again once a week for sterilization to prevent deterioration.
