Dongpo's Pork (東坡肉)
Nothing better than a fat, tender piece of Dongpo's Pork (東坡肉). Serve it up with a bowl (make that two, no three) of rice and my sister will happily finish it all. And the best part? It's so easy to make. Just get yourself a piece of pork belly (choose the one that has a layer of fat, a layer of meat, a layer of fat, etc). Simmer in hot water for 5 minutes until the meat turns grey. Then remove the water, add in dark soya sauce, brown/cane sugar, soya sauce, ginger, bay leaves. Add a dash of Xiao Xing Wine and cook at the lowest heat setting possible. Add water to cover meat. Cook for 6 hours, and condense sauce at the end if needed. Serve. Yum.
