It appears most frequently in the major cuisines in the country, and perhaps the most famous is braised pork. Dongpo pork and Mao's braised pork, the braised pork blessed by two celebrities, the past and the present, are more famous and have a more profound impact.

Braised pork in brown sauce is similar but very different across the country. The main raw material is only pork belly, and the flavors vary from the simplest sugar and soy sauce to the more complex versions of a dozen flavored spices.

"Huangzhou is good pork, the price is like dung, the rich will not eat it, and the poor will not cook it." It is said that the prototype of braised pork is Xuzhou's rebate meat. It is famous all over the world, in order to commemorate Su Dongpo Braised Pork is also called Dongpo Pork.

Although many people have pointed out the various differences between braised pork and Dongpo pork to show that they are different dishes, I think Dongpo pork should only be regarded as an advanced version of braised pork.

Compared with Mao's braised pork, Dongpo pork is more delicate and smooth, fragrant and soft. Today I will introduce you to the gentle version of "Su-style braised pork", and the culinary essence of making Su-style braised pork is the 13-character mantra in the poem "Eating Pork" by the Dongpo layman: "Slow down on the fire, less water. It’s beautiful when it’s hot enough."
