Chapter 4 Homesick Chili Fried Pork

Chili and meat are indispensable dishes for Hunan people. People from Hunan, who grew up on the red land beside Dongting Lake, are born with a spicy taste and love to eat chili. They work hard and industriously to sow the seeds of chili. Hunan is inseparable from spicy food, and there is also a feeling of spicy food in life: women have spicy personalities, men work hard, and food is very spicy. In Hunan people's recipes, chili is at the top of the list. Almost every dish uses chili as an ingredient. Some people even add chili powder to their soup.People in Hunan still don't like it, they come up with all kinds of fresh ways to eat chili, besides green chili and red chili, they also make white chili, pickled chili, dried chili, chili powder, chili oil, chili sauce, etc. The last thing is to eat the chili all over.

Hunan people also like to eat meat.Mao Zedong was famous for his love of Hunan braised pork.This should start with the meat pigs in Hunan. Ningxiang pigs are famous all over the country. Of course, the pork in Hunan is also famous all over the country.Hunan people do not like lean meat, but pork belly.This is also the knowledge of Hunan people eating meat.Although lean meat has high nutritional value, it is not delicious.People who love meat have a feeling that lean meat is not refreshing in the mouth, it is full of tendons, not much oil, and has a sour taste.Fat meat without a little lean meat is not delicious, and the mouth is full of oil.If thickening powder is added to the dish, it will be a big loss for Hunanese who love braised pork.Pork belly is different. There is not a lot of oil in the meat, and it tastes oily.

In Hunan cuisine, there is a series of chili fried pork.That is to say, as long as it is pepper, it can be used to stir-fry pork, and the most famous one may be stir-fried pork with green pepper.From the analysis of the color of the green pepper, it can be found that the green color is the most gorgeous in front of the white meat, and it is clear and clear.As far as the pepper itself is concerned, the green pepper has just been picked from the pepper tree, the meat is the best, and the water is the most plump, which happens to be the best time to eat. When people from Hunan go on a business trip, the first dish they order must be stir-fried pork with green peppers, followed by green peppers with tiger skin.When Hunan people come to Changsha, they also love to eat fried pork with green peppers.This may start from the history of Hunan: Hunan is a land of exile, first of all the king of Changsha, who can only build a Dingwangtai to miss his mother.In the future, many scholars of literature were exiled to Hunan, and they all came to Changsha to pay their respects, so as to miss their homeland.Changsha has become a city-state where they miss their relatives and their homeland.Although there is no red bean in the southern country, it has become a veritable city of lovesickness.

Changsha people will miss their hometown very much no matter they are in the province or wandering abroad.When people from other places come to Changsha and live in Changsha for a while, they will also become lovesick people. This is a kind of cultural infection.Therefore, Changsha people use their own food to miss. Stir-fried pork with green peppers is a typical lovesick food. The real stir-fried pork with green peppers is not the kind of stir-fry popular in restaurants, but a family practice.First cut the pork belly into thin slices, cut the green chili into ring-shaped shreds, then cut a few slices of fat meat, fry the fat meat in the pan to get the oil out, then put the pork belly into the pan, put some garlic seeds, and stir-fry continuously until the pork belly The lean meat is fried into a yellowish brown, which looks a little burnt.Move the meat to one side, use the oil in the bottom of the pan, and fry with shredded green chilies.When the chili shreds are stained with meat oil, add salt and continue to fry, add some soy sauce, and stir fry until the pepper skin turns, then add other seasonings, and immediately take it out of the pan.The aroma of the dishes fried in this way is compelling and tempting people's appetite.

Eating such chili fried pork at a family banquet, people can't help but think of their relatives and hometown.
