Sichuan and Chongqing people have a special liking for brain flowers, which usually refers to pig brains. After the pig brains are cooked in spicy soup, they use chopsticks to pick up a piece of juice dipped with chopped green onion, garlic paste or coriander. This is the favorite of Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan people, but for most northerners, a few people are willing to try it. Moreover, this kind of thing is even more unimaginable for foreign friends to eat.
In addition to making hot pot, brain flower can also be made into roasted brain flower, brain flower, boiled spicy brain flower, etc. Even friends in Sichuan and Chongqing make it into brain flower noodles. In short, cooking brain flower is inseparable from heavy oil and spicy. Spicy can cover up the greasy taste of brain flowers, but it can't cover up the fresh fragrance. Red oil can also enhance the color and make people's appetite open.
Only on the stage of Sichuan-Chongqing cuisine can brain flowers shine to the greatest extent. Sichuan-Chongqing people also have different feelings about this unique food. In many online videos, people here can often see their love for brain flowers. Every time they eat it, they will sigh: It's too fragrant and too comfortable.
Braised flowers and other pig pairs make the ingredients of hot pot gather together. Although pork is very common on the dining table of northerners, Sichuan is a veritable pig-eating province. In addition to bacon in winter, the sales of pig pairs rank first in the country, because in the authentic Sichuan-Chongqing hot pot ingredients, various pig pairs are the most indispensable roles. Of course, the pig brain is the terminator of the pig pair. In addition, yellow throat, pork intestines, pork chop, eyebrow meat and flat meat are also their regular dishes when eating hot pot.
Most of the pig pairs are clean and tender in color. Just looking at the color in the hot red soup makes people want to stop. After cooking for a minute or two, they can be fished out. Some of them are crisp and tender, while others are delicate and smooth. No matter what kind of taste, they are far beyond the freshness and satisfaction brought by other ingredients.
