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!

Takoyaki (octopus balls)

Freshly made takoyaki are perfectly round, with a crispy, caramelized exterior and a soft, chewy interior. Each bite bursts with crunchy squid tentacles and succulent shrimp, coated in a rich, sweet and savory teriyaki sauce and smooth, creamy mayonnaise. The bonito flakes tremble gently in the steam. You just can't stop eating them! Recently, my little one asked, "I haven't had takoyaki in ages!" Usually, a box only has six pieces, and I'm always counting them carefully. But at home, I can have takoyaki freedom! Half a pound of flour makes 24 pieces—enough to satisfy everyone! Watching my little one proudly showing off the plate, face covered in sauce, this mom thinks: This cooking skill is off the charts!

Sweet and Sour Sea Bass

Whether you are entertaining guests or having a family dinner, this dish instantly elevates the banquet and is definitely the "C position" on the table! It shows the cooking care and sincerity of hospitality. Follow the following 4 key techniques to create delicious dishes with good appearance and taste: 1. Starch selection: Potato starch is used for batter frying. Its characteristics can make the fish body form a thin and crispy shell, giving the dish a rich taste experience. 2. Deodorization: The fishy smell must be effectively removed to ensure that the fish tastes pure and sweet. 3. Ingredient selection: It is recommended to choose sea bass with few bones, thick meat and firm meat, which can not only ensure the convenience and pleasure of eating, but also facilitate the formation of dishes. Of course, you can also choose other suitable fish species according to your personal preferences. 4. Sweet and sour sauce blending: When preparing sweet and sour sauce, try to follow the proportion of the formula.
