"Dongpo meat" is a famous dish in Zhejiang, and there are many versions of "Dongpo meat".
"Dongpo Meat" was originally made by Su Dongpo in Huangzhou, but the dish had no name at the time. Named "Dongpo Rou" after him, it was when he went to Hangzhou to be the prefect. At that time, the West Lake had been submerged by more than half of the grass. After he took office, he organized migrant workers to eradicate the grass, dredge the lake lanes, and restore the West Lake to its original appearance. People in Hangzhou heard that he loved to eat braised pork, so many people came to deliver pork by appointment. He took the pork, cut it into large pieces, added seasoning and wine, and simmered it into braised pork in his own way, and distributed it to the migrant workers in West Lake. After eating, everyone praised the meat for its crispy flavor, fat but not greasy, so people named the meat "Dongpo Meat" after his name. It has been passed down to the present..."

Tips:
Choose pork belly for Dongpo meat. The meat is fresher and more delicious. You don’t need to add water to the meat. Cooking wine and soy sauce are used. The original flavor is not appropriate. If there are too many, the color is heavy. The taste can also be added according to your preferences.
