Tips:
1. The step of frying the meat is really scary. It keeps banging oil, the sound is loud, frying the meat is worrying, and it feels like you are risking your life when you cook a dish. I just fry it. The most authentic method seems to be whole-fried, which feels too greasy.
2. The piece of meat I picked is basically big fat meat, but because it is domestically raised, and it has been steamed for a long time, basically the oil has come out, and the meat will melt when you lightly touch it when you eat it. It's greasy, but it still looks a little lame, haha.
3. The plum cores used this time are fresh and not very oily. I think it will be better to use dried plums, and the vegetables should be more fragrant.
