The Cleaver Quarterly on Nostr: One of my favorite double-boiled Jiangxi jar soups features fruit in a leading role. ...

One of my favorite double-boiled Jiangxi jar soups features fruit in a leading role. Small jars filled with snow pear, minced pork, and water are sealed with foil, then stacked in a giant ceramic vat over heaped coals. Over 8 hours, the indirect heat coaxes out flavor and nutrients while keeping everything tender. The pear slices dissolve in the mouth like wintermelon. Kudos to this fruit for bridging the sweet-savory divide. #JarSoup #SnowPear #Jiangxi #China #ChineseFood #雪梨 #瓦罐汤 #江西菜 #中国
