published Nov 13, 2023 This recipe for hong shao rou is nothing short of a flavor bomb! This time-honored Chinese masterpiece is savory, sweet, and tangy with a melt-in-your-mouth tenderness. The robust flavors of soy sauce, rice wine, and brown sugar team up with zesty ginger, spicy serrano, and more to create an intensely delicious braising sauce. Making red braised pork belly does require a number of steps and a bit of patience, but I guarantee your efforts are worth it. This is one of my new favorite dishes to make for holiday potlucks or anytime I want to knock the socks off my dinner guests. We’re talking pork candy here!
