I've recently rewatched "Let's Go Now," and every time I see Jia Bing's Northeastern Chinese dishes, my mouth waters! 🤤 The steaming wok hei (wok aroma), the tender ribs, the crunchy potatoes, the green beans soaked in meat juices, served with a big bowl of rice—it's so delicious it'll make the neighbor's kids cry! 🥲 The recipe is actually very simple; you could make it if you had the guts! 👇
