Dongpo Pork is a legendary Hangzhou dish named after the famous Song Dynasty poet Su Dongpo. This braised pork belly features a glossy mahogany color, tender texture that melts in your mouth, and a perfect balance of savory and sweet flavors. The pork is slow-cooked in Shaoxing wine and soy sauce until it reaches a melt-in-your-mouth consistency.
The key to perfect Dongpo Pork is patience - slow braising allows the fat to render and the meat to become incredibly tender. Using rock sugar gives the pork a beautiful glossy finish.
