Sulao cured meat has been famous since ancient times for its "sweet and fragrant, crisp and not greasy" taste, and is considered the best of all cured meats. The people of Sulao are very particular about making cured flavors, and their recipes are never disclosed. People outside the mountains probably only know that the ingredients include fennel, star anise, sand ginger, honey, cooking wine, soy sauce, and more than ten other items, but they can never replicate the special aroma and crisp flavor of Sulao cured meat. Sulao cured meat tastes rich and aromatic, with fat that is not greasy and lean meat that is not tough. Not only does Sulao cured meat have a unique flavor, but it also has the functions of whetting the appetite, dispelling cold, and aiding digestion.
