【Shanxi】Home-style braised pork

Overview

Braised pork is one of the home-cooked dishes, with pork belly as the main ingredient. Some people like to eat lean meat because of its chewiness, some like fatty meat because of its aroma, some people think that lean meat is hard and difficult to chew, and some people think that fat meat is greasy and difficult to swallow. But braised pork is the only dish with three layers of meat. After being made, the deliciousness cannot be described in words. It is fat but not greasy. This dish is braised pork. Because my family likes to eat it, I will make more every time, leave some extra soup and freeze it. When I want to eat it, I can defrost it and stew it with cabbage, potatoes and other vegetables. It tastes very good!
