I always look forward to spring, not for its warmth and warmth, but for a very special vegetable - dried radish. There are always some elderly people who, in the autumn of the previous year, cut the radishes into slices, dried them in the sun, and then stored them, only to take them to the vegetable market in the next spring to exchange for a few pocket money.

After the Spring Festival, I would take time to walk around the vegetable market every day. I would look around and check every corner. As soon as I saw the dried radish, I would pounce on it, and I would not miss it. Quickly, pick up a bag and don’t pay back the price. You happily take it home, soak it in water, cook it, fry it or add stuffing. It’s all very, very, very delicious! It has an absolutely different taste than fresh radish, and even the aroma is a hundred times different.

A few days ago, I used dried radish to make vegetable dumplings and stuffed pancakes. Today I used it to fry pork belly. I finished two bowls of rice in a row and completely forgot about losing weight. It’s over, forget it, let’s have fun first.

Stir-fried pork belly with dried radish

Ingredients: 1 large handful of soaked dried radish, a little pork belly, appropriate amount of onion, ginger and garlic, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, appropriate amount of oil and salt.

Specific methods:

1. This is dried radish that has been soaked. For how to make dried radish, please check out the recipe I made a few days ago.

2. Cut the dried radish into wider strips and set aside. Don't cut this thing too finely, as it will break easily when frying.

3. Cut the pork belly into strips. Be sure to use pork belly. Dried radish absorbs oil like other dried vegetables. The more oil it has, the better it tastes, especially lard.

4. Heat the oil in a hot pot, add the pork belly to the pot, and stir-fry over low heat to release the oil.

5. Then add onion, ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, then add radish strips.

6. Stir-fry over high heat for two to three minutes to stir-fry the oil and radish strips evenly.

7. Add soy sauce and salt, stir-fry evenly, then turn off the heat and enjoy.

8. I can finish this dish myself (covering my face). It’s so delicious. Only those who have eaten it will understand.

A few verbose sentences:

1. If you can’t buy dried radish, then wait until this autumn to dry some yourself.

2. Dried radish must use more oil to taste delicious.
