YUMMY CHINA----TWICE COOKED PORK TWICE COOKED PORK=Hui2 guo1 rou4 Today,what I'm gonna sharing with you here is one of the best-known Sichuan-style Chinese dishes,that's Twice Cooked Pork, and the story of its origin. It's said that this dish have originated from the Qing Dynasty, while the Emperor,Qianlong, toured Sichuan. When he approached one particular village, the villagers got so fretted as the Emperor demanded a feast,which the villagers were in no position to provide with as a result of the poor harvest. But the villagers were so feared of prosecution, so they hastily dumped their leftovers into the pot, cooked them again(thus twice cooking them) and served the emperor with this. To their surprise, the emperor enjoyed it very much.Twice cooked pork originated from civilians, thus is deeply loved by the folks.The process of the dish involves boiling pork rib steak chunks in hot water with slices of ginger and salt first, after being cut into thin slices, the pork is returned to a wok and shallow fried in hot oil.emmmmm,though I'm a veggie,my mouth still can't help wartering every time I recalled how my grandma made this dish when I was a little girl.^-^
