On hot days, I often make this dish at home. It is fried with pork belly and is very fragrant. It is delicious and goes well with rice. I am full every time. The weather is too hot. Our family likes to eat porridge very much on hot days, and it is the kind of porridge that has been cooled down. It can be fried and eaten with a plate of rice, not to mention how enjoyable it is. Many dishes are suitable to be used with porridge, but in my mind there is one ingredient that is the perfect "artifact" to accompany porridge, and that is: dried radish. When I was a child, my family's living conditions were not good, so it was common to eat dried radish with rice porridge. Later, when I grew up and my living conditions improved, I still liked this combination and couldn't get enough of it. There are many ways to eat dried radish, and stir-fry it with black beans. , fried dried radish with chili, braised fish with dried radish, etc. are all appetizers that our family particularly loves.

In addition, dried radish and pork belly are also excellent partners. These two ingredients are fried together. They may look greasy, but they taste really delicious, especially when eaten with porridge. It is not too spicy. It's so delicious that I accidentally overeat it every time. Pork belly will feel too fatty when eaten in summer, but when paired with dried radish, the dried radish absorbs the fat of the pork belly, which not only makes it taste more delicious, but also reduces the fatty taste of the pork belly. Our whole family likes this side dish very much. After eating it for a long time, we still miss the taste.

There are several types of dried radish in the south, one is particularly salty, and the other is slightly sweet, each with its own flavor. When you buy dried salted radish, be sure to soak it in advance and wash it several times to reduce the saltiness. Then cut it into pieces. It is not recommended to cut it into large pieces. Chop it into smaller pieces to make it more fragrant when fried. There is no need to add oil to the pot, just add the dried pork belly and stir-fry until the pork belly is oily and completely cooked.
