Shanghainese Braised Pork Belly (Hong Shao Rou)
A staple of Shanghainese cuisine, hong shao rou (meaning red-braised pork) is all about rich flavors. Pork belly is slowly cooked in a fragrant broth of soy sauce, warming spices, and rock sugar until it’s meltingly tender and caramelized. Served over fluffy Kokuho rice with baby bok choy, this bowl brings balance with a touch of indulgence.
