Guilin Eighteen Stuffed Delicacies
Guilin's traditional series of stuffed dishes packs seasoned fillings such as pork and shrimp paste into more than a dozen hollow ingredients—green peppers, bitter melon, river snails, eggplant and more—then pan-fries or braises them. Each dish has its own flavor: fresh, fragrant and juicy, soft or springy, with a rich local home-style character. The fillings provide quality protein, and paired with various vegetables the dish is rich in vitamins and dietary fiber, making it fairly balanced. Filling each piece and controlling the heat takes some patience, but the logic is simple and even novice cooks can try it. Expect about 1.5 hours in total.
