Hunan-style Smoked Meat

Hunan-style Smoked Meat

Hunan-style Smoked Meat is a famous traditional Chinese cuisine made from cured and smoked pork. This dish is known for its rich flavor, tender texture, and enticing aroma, which comes from the unique curing process using a blend of spices, soy sauce, and sugar. The meat is then smoked slowly over wood chips and charcoal until it is crispy on the outside and melt-in-your-mouth tender on the inside. Hunan-style Smoked Meat is often served as a delicacy in high-end restaurants or as a snack in local street vendors in Hunan province.
