Zhejiang-style Dongpo Pork Knuckle

Zhejiang-style Dongpo Pork Knuckle

Zhejiang-style Dongpo Pork Knuckle is a famous traditional Chinese dish that originated in the Zhejiang province of China. This dish consists of a slow-cooked pork knuckle, marinated in a rich mixture of soy sauce, rice wine, ginger, sugar, and other spices. The resulting meat is tender, juicy, and incredibly flavorful, with a crispy skin and a melt-in-your-mouth texture.
