Braised Pork Belly with Luchuan Pig

Braised Pork Belly with Luchuan Pig

　　Made with pork from the Luchuan pig, one of China’s eight famous pig breeds, the dish is rich yet not greasy, lean but not tough, melting in the mouth without any toughness. The aroma of the meat is gentle and restrained, thick and smooth, rich and far-reaching, with a warm, inviting fragrance—offering an irresistible, tempting delicacy. As the poet Su Shi once wrote: “Braised pork belly is truly a treasure, delicious with high nutritional value. Skillfully prepared and ingeniously used, it helps maintain good health.” Thus, it has earned its place as an exceptional gift.
