Northeastern mixed vegetable & pork stew 东北乱炖 →
The meat and aromatics are started first where used, then the vegetables simmer together until tender. Cooks adjust the timing so denser potatoes and beans cook through while softer vegetables give body to the broth. The flavour is savoury and homely, with different vegetables contributing sweetness and texture. Corn can remain juicy, potato softens and aubergine absorbs the seasoning; the dish is about their combination rather than perfectly separate pieces.
Pork belly, sour cabbage & glass noodles 酸菜白肉炖粉条 →
The cabbage is cut into narrow strips and simmered with pork and broth. The noodles are added so that they become tender without disappearing into the liquid. The balance of fresh pork, cooked pork and stock differs among households. Expect a clear sour note, soft cabbage and slippery noodles, with the pork providing richness. This is usually a broth-led dish rather than a thick sweet-and-sour sauce, and chilli can be added separately where offered.
