Taro Pork

Overview

Taro pork belly is a common specialty dish in Guangdong and Guangxi. It is made of pork belly cut into about 0.5 cm thick, boiled until it is 80% rotten, and then fried. The fragrant taro is also cut into the same thickness as the meat and fried until golden brown. It is separated and interlocked with the pork belly piece by piece. Add seasonings and it tastes fragrant, not greasy, and refreshing. The skin of the meat is golden, and the taro is snow-white, alternating between yellow and white, forming a turtle's back. The appearance is good-looking, and the meat is not greasy. The taro is delicious when chewed, with a fragrant aroma and endless aftertaste. . . Our family likes to use plum cabbage to make braised pork. Plum cabbage absorbs the aroma of pork belly, tastes delicious and goes well with rice, and is easier to digest than taro. If you keep a few taros in the kitchen, they will sprout if you don't eat them. Everything grows in the spring climate. Even if there is no soil, potatoes, sweet potatoes, and taros will sprout automatically if they are left in the kitchen for a long time. I finally put it to use today and made this taro braised pork dish, which is pink, glutinous and fragrant~
