　　Pineflower Preserved Egg

　　Cleaned large red chili peppers are rotated over charcoal fire for a short while, then peeled, deseeded, and torn into segments, which are placed in the center of a large plate. Heat oil in a pan, add Sichuan peppercorns to release their aroma, then set aside. A mixture of seasonings including soy sauce, chili oil, Sichuan peppercorn oil, sesame oil, and monosodium glutamate is poured over the torn red chili peppers. Select six lead-free pineflower preserved eggs, totaling about 300 grams in weight. Remove the shells, and place one egg with intact and beautifully patterned pineflower crystals in the center of the plate, atop the red chili peppers. The remaining eggs are each cut into four wedges and arranged around the edge of the plate. Before serving, refrigerate the dish to enhance its refreshing taste and flavor infusion.
