Meat Skin
Spicy and Sour Pork Skin Soup
This **Spicy and Sour Meat Skin Tofu Soup** is a bold, flavorful dish that combines tender meat skin, silky tofu, and earthy enoki mushrooms in a rich, tangy broth.

Garnished with scallions or parsley, this dish can be enhanced with wood ear mushrooms or pig blood for extra texture. Serve it with fresh milk or corn juice for a complete, comforting meal. A harmonious blend of spicy, sour, and sweet, this soup is a must-try for adventurous food lovers!
