Donkey-hide gelatin

There are three brands of "Dong'a", "Fupai" and "Donkey-hide gelatin" in Jinan's local market. "Hongjitang" is a local "Chinese time-honored brand" in Jinan with a history of more than 100 years. In the TV series "Mansion Gate", Bai Jingqi, the young boss of "Baicao Hall", founded a medicine shop in Jinan with his bare hands. Bai Jingqi's prototype was named Le Jingyu, and the medicine shop he founded was Hongji Tang. Jinan Hongjitang was founded in 1907. Le Jingyu was the Shaodong of Beijing Tongrentang Pharmacy. In 1909, he opened the Hongjitang donkey-hide gelatin factory in Liushui Street, Xiguandong, Jinan. He extended the original three days and nights of boiling to nine days and nights of refining, eliminating the inherent fishy smell of donkey-hide gelatin. The produced donkey-hide gelatin was fragrant and sweet, and the donkey-hide gelatin became Hongji Tang's famous product.

"Dong'a" is produced in Dong'a, Liaocheng, and "Fupai" is produced in Pingyin, Jinan. Both of these are big brands and you can choose according to your preference.

Stir-fried kidneys

It is a home-cooked dish with pork kidney as the main ingredient.
