A LITTLE SOMETHING TO READ

Story & history

Changshou pork-intestine rice, an everyday meal after work

This account describes a tradition or story, rather than an established historical fact.

In Changshou, pork-intestine rice is everyday fare: finely cut pork intestines are cooked with several seasonings and served over soft soybeans, with pickled vegetables and rice alongside. It makes a filling meal after a busy day, the beans adding a gentle sweetness beside the rich offal. The plain-looking plate takes care to prepare: the intestines are cleaned, the beans soaked, and the seasoning and simmering tended closely.

Keep your curiosity going.
