Mei Cai Kou Rou is a traditional Han Chinese dish from the Hakka culinary tradition. It's made with ingredients like pork belly, preserved mustard greens (mei cai), scallions, and ginger.

梅菜扣肉之所以肥而不腻，与肉类的选择有很大关系，做这道菜时，需选用“三层肥三层瘦”的五花肉，肥肉部分白嫩细腻，瘦肉紧实有弹性。这种结构能在蒸制时让肥肉充分软化，与瘦肉形成口感平衡，避免油腻感。

What makes this dish rich but not greasy lies in the choice of meat. It requires pork belly with a perfect balance: three layers of fat and three layers of lean meat. The fatty part is pale and tender, while the lean part is firm and elastic. This structure allows the fat to soften fully during steaming, balancing out the texture and preventing greasiness.

梅菜扣肉外观油润红亮，梅菜特有的咸香和扣肉酱香混合，闻着香气已经食指大动，五花肉经过繁琐的工序烹饪之后，再经过垫底的梅菜干吸收油分，而且猪皮部分酥软焦脆，尝上一片，酱汁浓香搭载梅菜咸鲜，让人恨不得再夹一片品尝，酥软酱香不腻口。

Visually, Mei Cai Kou Rou glistens with a red, glossy appearance. The unique salty aroma of mei cai mixed with the savory fragrance of the sauce is tantalizing even before tasting. The pork belly undergoes a complex preparation process, and the preserved greens underneath absorb the excess oil. The pork skin becomes tender yet crispy. One bite delivers the rich, flavorful sauce combined with the savory tang of mei cai, making you crave another piece. The dish is soft, fragrant, and never heavy.
