　　“Water-Milled Shred” is made from pig ears. The dish earns its name because when the traditional dish’s pig ears are sliced flat, the resulting pattern resembles the look of water-milled stone. It is a traditional dish from Dali County, Shaanxi Province, and has a history of over 200

　　years. Though made with simple ingredients, the dish is widely celebrated for its exceptional knife skills. To make it, the pig ears must be sliced extremely thin and cut into fine shreds. The finished dish is as fine as hair, light and translucent, crisp, tender, smooth, pleasantly sour and refreshing, with a unique flavor that never fails to amaze diners and earn praise from gourmets.
