Spicy temptation - boiled pork slices

Overview

When I was in college, I had a good friend who I talked to about everything who was from Sichuan. Under her influence, I became more and more fascinated with Sichuan cuisine. I still remember that in those good years when firewood and rice were expensive, three or five friends hid in the dormitory and cooked hot pot. After eating and drinking, I would lie down on the bed to gossip or watch a few episodes of Taiwanese variety shows. Taiwanese variety shows were still very popular at that time, such as "Kangxi Is Coming", "Guoguang Help", "Austin Powers"... I don't know if these shows are still around now... After graduating from college, a group of three or five friends went to Beijing to find a job. The four of them lived in a small two-bedroom apartment. During those difficult days when they just started working and did not have a thousand dollars, they usually had a slightly grander lunch on weekends, with each person cooking a dish. Sichuan food was often a regular on the table, because it can bring the most satisfying taste. Now that everyone is getting married and having children, their lives have become busier and there are fewer opportunities to meet and gather. Every time I cook Sichuan cuisine, I can’t help but miss those warm moments in my youth.
