Xuzhou Ba Zi Rou making skills are a traditional skills project in the third batch of representative projects of Xuzhou's municipal intangible cultural heritage. The origin of Xuzhou's "Bazi Rou" can be traced back to the ancients' sacrifices. After the ancients' public sacrifices, they cut the sacrificial meat into rectangular blocks and distributed them to the participants. Since these rectangular meat blocks must be tied with green cattail or horsetail grass when they are divided, forming a "tie" form, it is called "Bazi Rou". The participants took the meat home and stewed it with sauce, and tied the cattail grass into small bundles, put them together, and cooked them with meat and vegetables. Gradually, the specific delicious food "Bazi Rou" was created. Xuzhou "Ba Zi Rou" uses three layers of pork belly with fat and lean meat, wash it, put it in a pot, add water, green onion, ginger, and cooking wine to cook until it is cooked, remove it, wash it, cut it into slices about 10 cm long and 0.5 cm thick, then put it in a large pot, add a spice bag, pour in soy sauce and other condiments, boil it over high heat, simmer it over low heat for 2 hours, the meat is crispy and the soup is mellow, then add kelp, day lily, etc. to the soup. For rice, wash the rice, soak it for 10 minutes, add water and boil it, remove the rice, put it on the cage cloth, and steam it in the cage. The rice is soft, not hard, not sticky, and the grains are distinct. It is served with Ba Zi Rou and poured with some Ba Zi Rou soup, which is fresh and fragrant. Xuzhou's braised pork is cooked with ingredients and cooking time, and the combination of meat and vegetables is nutritionally complete: braised pork is usually stewed with dried orchid, vegetarian chicken, kelp, egg dumplings, four-happiness meatballs, dried orchid and more than a dozen spices, which is rich in nutrition; the rice is moderately soft and hard: the rice cooked with braised pork is non-sticky, not soft, slightly hard and refreshing; the meat is fat but not greasy, lean but not dry, the soup is fresh and mellow, and the aftertaste is mellow. The rice is served with rice, which complements each other. (No pictures, welcome to provide.) (No pictures, welcome to provide.)
