Overview

Dongpo Pork, a famous dish in Hangzhou and a Han delicacy, is popular in Jiangsu and Zhejiang. According to legend, it was created by Su Dongpo, a poet of the Northern Song Dynasty. Preparation method: Cut the pork belly into large pieces, put green onions and ginger on the bottom of the pot, add wine, sugar, soy sauce, and simmer slowly with water over a slow fire. Su Dongpo's poem "Eating Pork" says: ...Slow down the fire and use less water. When the fire is sufficient, he will be beautiful. Dongpo meat has good color, aroma and taste. It is fat but not greasy in the mouth, with the aroma of wine. It is very delicious and deeply loved by people. Dongpo Pork has now become a famous traditional dish in Hangzhou. Louwailou Restaurant imitated his method to cook this dish, served it to the world, and continuously improved it in practice, so it has been passed down to this day.
