Handful of meat

Overview

Bangzi Pork is a traditional famous dish in Jinan, Shandong. In the past, there was a shop specializing in Bangzi Pork in the food street not far from my home. I would go there to eat it every now and then. After the food street moved, I never ate it again. My family wanted to eat it today, so I made it according to the previous taste and the ingredients I wanted to eat. Unexpectedly, it was not bad😋. It is fat but not greasy, thin but not sticky, and has a mellow aftertaste in the mouth. You might as well give it a try.
