Double-cooked Meat | 回锅肉

Double-cooked Meat (回锅肉) is the No. 1 dish in Sichuan Cuisine because of its popularity. The dish literally cooked the meat twice with simmering in the boiling water before stir frying. Double-cooked Pork Belly

The most common used meat for the dish is the pork belly with skin(带皮五花肉). sometimes the pork ham with skin(带皮后腿肉) is used. The ideal cut of meat is to have the balance of lean meat (60%) and fat(40%). Combining with broad bean paste and other ingredients, the double-cook technique brings out the fragrant aroma and at the same time makes the dish less greasy (aka more healthy) and more enjoyable. Many vegetables can go with the dish such as leeks, green pepper and cabbage.
