Fried Boiled Pork: Fried Boiled Pork is one of Shanxi's "Top Ten Classic Dishes." It has a golden and bright color, with a texture that is soft on the outside and tender on the inside. The highlight lies in its sauce, which tastes savory with a hint of vinegar, and the gravy is appropriately thick and transparent. Made from pork tenderloin slices paired with vegetables like wood ear mushrooms, it goes through several steps including coating with egg whites, frying, stir-frying with seasoned oil, and finally tossing together to create a dish that is a perfect blend of color, aroma, and taste.
