Crystal Elbow

Overview

The name of the dish "Crystal Elbow" is very popular. In the past, it was a New Year's dish here, but now it's almost the same as the Chinese New Year every day, and I'm tired of eating it. I haven't done it in a long time. I learned this dish from my father. He taught me two methods. One is the kind made by wrapping the elbow meat with meat skin, which is called skin elbow, and the other is the crystal elbow. I loved this dish made by my father when I was a child. It has a rich texture and delicious taste. Especially the chewy sauce pork inside, which blends with the soft and smooth skin jelly, is a wonderful feeling. Now it feels really good to turn this old classic dish out and make it again!
