Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Use pork belly with skin or whole pork belly to achieve the characteristic chewy texture of dongpo pork.
  • Keep the lid closed and maintain medium-low heat during braising to prevent too much liquid from evaporating.
  • Adding a little vinegar helps remove any gamey smell and makes the meat much more tender.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make restaurant-style tender dongpo pork at home.
  • Those who want to enjoy a deeply flavored Chinese-style braised dish with minimal seasoning ingredients.
