Every Chinese New Year, Shanghai people always have a bowl of braised pork in brown sauce. Big meat originally represents wealth, and a bowl of greasy braised pork symbolizes the prosperity of the coming year, and the success of life and career! Although I am from the north, my son is a meat-controller and likes to eat braised pork very much. Therefore, my family’s new year’s dinner must have a plate of braised pork, braised pork with thick oil and red sauce. I hope the days will be prosperous.
