The day before yesterday, I went to the vegetable market to buy soup. When I passed by the vegetable stall that I frequented, the stall owner stopped me and said, "Sister, I bought some lentils today. There are not many goods, but they are very tender. I reserved a bag for the restaurant. This is the only thing left. Do you like it or not?" She would tell me every time there was a new vegetable, and she would tell me when she met me, so I also like to go to her food stall to select ingredients. The kind of lentils she mentioned was never made at home, but she often went to the dumpling restaurants in the north. Every time she ordered the dish of ribs and potatoes stewed with lentils. Since the proprietress recommended it, I did not hesitate to buy a bag and go home.
Lentils are cooked with pork belly. They are a perfect match, because the fat exuded during the cooking process is completely absorbed by the lentils. At this time, the lentils will gradually become soft and oily, and the taste will be crisp and delicious. The pork belly does not taste greasy at all, the more you chew, the more fragrant it is. A bit of chili is particularly appetizing! I made a big pot for the first time, and I ate it all at the meal. I saw that my family loved it. The next day I went to look for this lentil again. I was going to buy a little more and come back to stew the ribs. Who knew the boss said it was out of stock. I didn't find it. I was a little disappointed. I thought to myself, next time I met this ingredient, I must buy more and go home, store it in the refrigerator, and eat enough!
