Two years ago, I went to Northeast China to visit relatives and stayed at a friend's house for two days through Shenyang. My friend's grandfather was in his nineties and was still in good health. The old man used to cook for Emperor Puyi in the Puppet Manchukuo with his master. When he was young, he learned a good craft from the master. After the fall of the puppet Manchukuo, he opened a restaurant with his master until he left his home more than thirty years ago.
It was afternoon when I arrived at my friend's house that day, and it was soon dinner time. At dinner, the old grandfather wanted to drink with us. There were many small dishes on the table, most of which were made by a friend's mother under the guidance of the old grandfather. They all tasted great! I ate a smoked roll that tasted very good. It was different from other places in Northeast China. It tasted similar to Beijing's garlic sausage. It was made with tofu skin rolled meat and finally smoked.

1. Choose lean ground pork. Before using it, chop it a few more times with a knife. The finer the meat mince, the better, so that the texture feels like sausage.
2. Jasmine tea is best for smoking. For this recipe, since I didn't have any flower tea at home, I used tea powder as a substitute, though the taste is not as good as using flower tea.
3. Last time I made Camphor Tea Duck, an online friend asked me if there was a risk of fire when making smoked dishes at home. My answer was that it is very safe and absolutely will not catch fire. This is because we do not use an open flame, but simply let it smoke and then immediately turn off the heat source. Since the pot lid remains on during the smoking process, there is insufficient oxygen inside, so it will not catch fire. Even if a fire starts in the pot, as long as you cover it with the lid, it will be extinguished immediately, so please rest assured. Furthermore, for those who have just learned to cook, I would like to share some safety tips: when frying food, be sure to have a properly sized pot lid ready nearby. In case of a grease fire, do not panic; simply cover the pot with the lid immediately and turn off the heat source, and the fire will be put out instantly. Also, please note that frequent cleaning and daily wiping of the range hood will make cooking even safer.
