FROM THE HEARTH

A slab of cured porkslowly takes on the aroma of the hearth

Back home in Xiangxi, cured pork is still made the old way: choose good pork, rub it with salt, cure it through, then hang it over the hearth for the woodsmoke to work slowly.

  1. 01
    Choose the pork

    Pick well-marbled pork and cut it into long strips.

  2. 02
    Salt and cure

    Rub in salt and spices, then cure for a few days.

  3. 03
    Smoke over the hearth

    Hung from the rafters, it slowly takes on the aroma of woodsmoke.
