In the catering industry of Chenxi County, Yuntian Restaurant is a famous time-honored restaurant with excellent ingredients, rich dishes and authentic taste. Among them, the dish “Banbi Jiangshan” is one of its signature dishes, which is very popular among consumers. 

 Ms. Tang, the owner of Yuntian Restaurant, has worked in the catering industry for more than 20 years and managed the restaurant very well. “Banbi Jiangshan” is a dish created by Ms. Tang herself. After repeated trial production and eating, it has been introduced to the market and become one of the must-order dishes for customers in the restaurant.

“Banbi Jiangshan” is made of black pigs raised in local rural areas. Such black pigs are of good quality with thin skin, tender meat and fragrant bones. Burn the pork head with straw, clean it, chop it into two sides, put it in a pot and boil it, adding Chinese prickly ash, myrcia, ginger slices and cooking wine to remove the smelling of the pork head. In order to keep the original flavor of crispy skin and fine meat, pour cold water on it after it is put out of the hot pot, and then cook it in the homemade brine made by Ms. Tang with her own secret recipe, which is a very critical step. Add firewood until the pork head is rotten, boiling it in the brine until it is bright red, and then dish up. Before serving, draw some knife edges on it to facilitate the immersion of seasonings and the use of diners. Pour the seasonings made of ingredients such as ginger, garlic, dried red pepper on the pork head, and then add some trimmed scallions. Such a special delicacy is successfully done. Because it is half of marinated pork head, Ms. Tang named it “Banbi Jiangshan”.

“Banbi Jiangshan” is bright red with rich aroma, crispy skin and tender meat, soft and rotten, oily but not greasy with excellent taste. It is rich in micronutrients such as collagen and iron that the human body needs, and has the effects of beautifying and whitening, reducing diseases, and enhancing physical fitness, which is worthy of being a rare delicacy.
