When I was in school, I was a small and fat type, and I couldn't even see my waist. It's not because I eat a lot or like to eat snacks, but I'm a serious person who can drink water and gain weight. I love beauty, so when I go to the cafeteria to order meals, I basically eat vegetarian dishes, and every time I order one or two, I have to scoop out half of them, that is, I only eat 0.5 taels of rice for each meal. Seeing my classmates with big fish and meat, I wasn't tempted, especially when someone ate twice-cooked pork, I really panicked in my heart. Therefore, I will probably wait until my classmates have almost eaten before going to pick up food. At that time, my face was pale and my classmates all said that I was white and fat. In fact, I was a typical puffiness. <br />After graduating and working, I also started to eat meat every day, but the meat on my body has decreased, and now I have become a lean body. Finally, I can eat meat in large gulps and eat in large bowls. I think it is such a happy thing. <br />Twice cooked pork is a traditional Sichuan dish that can be made by every family. It has a strong taste and is a good dish to go with rice. Go to the market and choose a piece of fresh hind leg meat with fat, four thin, six wide and three fingers, and then cook, fry, and season it until it is delicious. When we often soak bones and meat in water, we prefer to put them in cold water, which will help remove blood stains. But making twice-cooked pork is different. You must boil water and put it in the pot to seal the water inside, and the finished vegetables will be more moist. Before cooking, it is best to add ginger slices, green garlic seedlings, and pepper grains in the water to boil to create the fragrance, and then put the meat in and cook. When frying, if rapeseed oil is used, it can be combined with meat slices for a better effect. <br />As a Sichuanese, when I first arrived in the south, I particularly disliked their fried pork. Because our customary practice is to burn the pork with skin to yellow, or brown it in a dry scalding pan, and then scrape it clean to remove the peculiar smell on the pig skin. In the south, they are basically washed directly and put into the pot. The meat flavor is not enough and the peculiar smell is mixed, which is a pity. This should be a difference in regional food culture and has no meaning of disparaging. Authentic Cantonese cuisine is exquisitely crafted and diverse in styles. It not only retains the nutrition of the food, but also has wonderful stimulation in terms of vision and taste. As a result, countless times, I am glad that I was born in this diverse food country and experienced the joy of life brought by various delicacies.

This is an authentic Yellow River carp, much bigger than the carp sold in the market. I cut it into three pieces, stewed it, and then put it together. It would be better if I had a big pot to stew the whole carp. <br />The characteristic of stewed fish is its original flavor. Don't put too much sauce and seasoning. If you don't like the seasoning, you can stew it clear. <br />This stewed fish is only suitable for large carp, but small carp are not suitable for stewing like this, so there is nothing to eat.

Cat Ears is a famous specialty snack in Hangzhou with historical allusions and legends. Legend has it that Emperor Qianlong of the Qing Dynasty went to Jiangnan and once enjoyed the West Lake in a small boat in disguise. While the tour was still strong, it suddenly began to rain. Everyone hurriedly took shelter in the cabin of the boat, but the rain became heavier and heavier and did not stop for a long time. A few hours passed, and Emperor Qianlong was hungry and couldn't help but ask the old fisherman what food he had. The old fisherman told Qianlong that he had noodles but no rolling pin and could not make noodles. Just as he was worried, the old fisherman's little granddaughter walked with a little tabby cat in her arms and said,"There is no rolling pin, I will twist it with my hands." So the little girl started to twist the dough into pieces, which looked like the ears of a little tabloid cat. It was small and cute. She put the strange-shaped noodles into the pot and cooked them, then poured them with fish and shrimp marinade and served them to Qianlong. Qianlong saw that the noodles were exquisite and unique, and felt that they had endless aftertaste after eating them. He quickly asked the little girl what the noodles were called, and the little girl replied that they were cat ears. Qianlong liked this snack very much. After returning to Beijing, he called the little girl to make "cat ears" for it. Since then,"cat ears" have become a famous Hangzhou specialty that has become famous all over the world.

"Twice-cooked pork" is a home-cooked dish in Sichuan. In the past when people were not very prosperous, there was a saying called: "Eat twice-cooked pork for a tooth sacrifice", which proves that twice-cooked pork tastes very delicious! <br />The "twice-cooked pork" is really fragrant, and it tastes fat but not greasy. Every time I make twice-cooked pork, I prefer to stir-fry it with Yongchuan fermented beans. The strong flavor of fermented soybeans adds an aroma to the twice-cooked pork, making it even more delicious, hehe! <br />The main reason why "twice-cooked pork" is not greasy is that the meat is boiled 80% cooked first, then sliced and stir-fried. The cooked meat will generally not become greasy after being stir-fried. Today, I will make this "Double-Cooked Pork with Soy Sauce" that I am good at. The specific recipe is as follows;

Every time no one at home is willing to cook, my husband will say that he will go to a certain food stall to eat twice-cooked pork and rice. I don't like to eat rice served with twice-cooked pork from that restaurant the most. It's a so-called rice served! Even if the vegetables and rice are combined, there is no soup, but my husband never gets tired of eating it. Later, the boss knew him. Every time he went to talk, he would never ask, and the boss would know what he wanted. So every time he sat there, the rice would naturally be served! <br />I was really surprised that rice bowl had such a great magic, because there were many restaurants near my home that sold rice bowl. I once asked him to eat at other restaurants, but he said it was not delicious, so he focused on this restaurant to eat! Once, I went to buy him rice and water, and saw that the boss's kitchen weapon was bean paste and MSG, which seemed to put more than other homes. So today I also bought bean paste and used homemade rice wine. The taste was really delicious! After my husband ate it, he praised me that the food was much better than the food outside!
