In 【國宴大師•眉丸海參】還原70年代的大菜！形似眉毛的肉丸子，酥酥軟軟，鮮香濃郁～, the channel 老饭骨 brings a lost recipe back to life by reconstructing “Mei Wan Sea Cucumber,” a historic dish featuring tender, eyebrow-shaped pork meatballs paired with savory braised sea cucumber. On the home-cooking front, ShangshiKitchen shares a beautifully simple, foolproof recipe in 无水凤梨炖排骨！. This tutorial teaches you how to make a sweet and savory braised pork rib dish without a single drop of added water, relying entirely on the juices of fresh pineapple chunks and standard pantry seasonings to build flavor.

Food Science & Tips

ShangshiKitchen shares a genius, unconventional tip: using a new, thoroughly washed pair of gardening shears to snip through tough pork ribs, which saves your chef’s knife and cutting board from potential damage. The video also explains the science of fruit marinades, noting that the natural proteases and fruit acids in the pineapple break down the meat for an incredibly tender, melt-in-your-mouth texture. Meanwhile, Chef Chen offers a vital prep tip for offal, demonstrating how to properly butterfly pork kidneys and use specific cutting angles so they curl beautifully into “flowers” when hitting the hot oil.

Restaurant & Travel

Offering a fantastic glimpse into Chinese culinary heritage, the 老饭骨 (Lao Fan Gu) video details how the “Mei Wan” meatball dish evolved from a regional Jiangxi specialty to a coveted staple of State Banquets in 1983. The chefs highlight how these historic banquet foods meticulously integrated the techniques of China’s Eight Great Cuisines and aristocratic cooking, lamenting that such delicate, labor-intensive creations are rarely prepared in modern dining.
