Chestnuts, also known as chestnuts, are known as the king of dried fruits. They are a kind of skin care product that nourishes and cures diseases.

Use chestnuts and braised pork to make a meat-and-vegetarian dish. The pink texture of the cooked chestnuts and the glutinous texture of the pork belly complement each other. It is truly unforgettable.
