And I absolutely love that about Asian cooking. Some ingredients do not taste good on their own, and would be thrown away in western cultures, but they really shine with the right spices and seasoning. Organ meat in a hot pot is amazing.

This recipe is the epitome of "it would be thrown away otherwise": it's braised pomelo skin [1]

I mean, it's the thick, bitter skin from one of the progenitors of a grapefruit, braised in a sauce until it's edible.
