Li An'an was making a honey pork knuckle dish. It was Grandpa's signature dish back then. Whenever Grandpa made this dish at a banquet, everyone at the table would fight over it. In order for everyone to have a share, Grandpa would finally spread a layer of dried beans under the pork knuckle. After the pork knuckle was done, it was drizzled with soup and steamed on the steamer for half an hour. The dried beans would be soaked in the juice of the meat. This way, everyone had a flavorful share!
This was the dish she was making today. Honey pork knuckle was a common dish in home cooking, but it required great skill to make it soft and moderate, and with the right amount of grease!
As she had more time after making the honey pork knuckle, she made another dish with fresh scallops. This was an imperial dish that she had learned from the recipe book. It was a seafood dish.
