Zhaoqing's tea oil is not only very famous locally, but also enjoys a high reputation in China. As a precious and fragrant camellia oil, it can make delicious chicken. Just by imagination, you should know that its taste is more distinctive than ordinary edible oil. In addition, the meat of native chicken is very fat, and seasonings such as soy sauce, rice wine, onion and garlic, pepper and pepper are all mixed.

Speaking of burning hands with lotus root, I believe many people often cook this dish at home. Compared with stew, its operation method should be very simple. However, because Zhaoqing's wild lotus root is famous all over the country, and this kind of lotus root is characterized by fat and tender, which is very suitable for long-term stewing, so in the eyes of local people, this dish is perfect with pig hands. Of course, unlike ordinary stews, Zhaoqing's special dishes are stewed in braise. The combination of crispy pork hands and fleshy lotus root pieces will definitely make you eat two more bowls of rice.
