Today's champion dish: Stir-fried carrots with pork belly! The steamed carrots are soft, tender, and incredibly sweet, paired with crispy pork belly—you'll never get enough rice! This is a favorite dish among Sichuan and Chongqing locals, a common dish on every family's table, a truly down-to-earth and quick hearty meal with extremely high popularity. This dish smells so good it makes your mouth water. Thick slices of carrot are steamed first, then coated in a glistening red oil sauce, making them incredibly tempting. The steaming process locks in the sweet juices of the carrots, which burst in your mouth with the savory sauce. The rendered fat from the pork belly seeps into the carrots, adding a touch of sweetness that balances the richness of the meat and enhances the overall flavor. The pork belly is pan-fried until crispy and fragrant, the fat glistening but not greasy, the lean meat soaked in the sauce yet tender. A bite of carrot followed by a bite of meat—the fresh aroma fills your nose, sweet and delicious, a true rice killer!
Stir-fried pork belly with stir-fried green beans is a combination that is so delicious that you will stomp your feet! Stir-fry the pork belly until it is golden and oily, and the aroma of fat mixed with the aroma of meat comes out first, and then wraps with the roasted green beans after stir-frying. Each bean is full of gravy, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside with a greasy feel. When you bite it, you will first taste the salty, fragrant and tender taste of the pork belly, and the fat will melt in your mouth, followed by the roasted and slightly spicy aroma of the green beans. The sweetness of the beans is more obvious with the aroma of meat, and the salty, fresh and spicy interweaves on the tip of your tongue, making you want to scrape away the rice crust at the bottom of the pot. With rice, you can eat the whole bowl directly, and you have to lick the oily fragrance at the corners of your mouth after eating, which is very satisfying!
