Shanghai-style Red Cooked Pork

Shanghai-style Red Cooked Pork, also known as hongshao rou, is a classic dish in Chinese cuisine. It is made by slowly simmering pork belly in a mixture of soy sauce, sugar, Shaoxing wine, ginger, and other seasonings until it is tender and deeply flavorful. The dish gets its name from the vibrant red color that the pork takes on after being cooked in the aromatic sauce. It is typically served as a main dish with steamed rice, and is a beloved comfort food in many households and restaurants in China.
