Chinese Preserved Pork Belly Jiang Xiang

Category: Air-dried, marinated, and polluted pork bust (often referred to as Chinese speck or Lap Yuk).Taste & Aroma: It is characterized by a soft, aromatic and hearty-spicy taste. Unlike the sweeter, Taiwanese variation of Gui-Xiang, the marinade here is strongly characterized by dark soy sauce with fungal extract (Shiitake), giving the meat a deeper, earthly Umami note.Show: A long, evenly dried piece of pork bust with clearly defined layers of lean meat and white fat, covered by a dark glamour.

True fungal umami: The use of special fungal soy sauce gives this swine belly a deep, full-mouthed taste profile.Concentrated protein: Through the traditional air-drying process, the percentage of water decreases, resulting in an extremely high protein content of 31.2 g.Prime-class melting behavior: When heated, the fine fat of the swine belly melts slowly and serves as an aromatic flavor carrier in the pan, making it hard to need additional bread oil.
