Braised pork with dried bamboo shoots

Overview

Braised pork is a classic traditional dish that has been popular for a long time and is loved by the public. The cooking methods are different in the south and the north, and each household has its own style and characteristics, but the selection of materials is the same, and they all choose fat and lean pork belly to make it. Dried bamboo shoots and pork belly are really a good pairing. One is rich in oil and the other absorbs oil. After some stewing, the pork belly is fat but not greasy. The dried bamboo shoots absorb enough soup and are definitely a killer of rice.
