This dish is one of the typical dishes of Xiangfan as well as a meat dish of typical homemade dishes that is popular with people in Xiangfan.

A cut from the pig's legs, which is quality pork, is normally used, without removing the skin, to prepare this dish, because such meat contains both fat and lean meat. After being stir-fried in the pan, the thin pork slices slightly curl up. Alternatively, the dish can also be prepared with fatter streaky pork by boiling it before giving it a stir-fry, in which case some fresh vegetable can be added to the stock so you can enjoy a dish and a soup.
