About this recipe

In this blog post I will guide you thru the steps and ingredients needed to craft this recipe. Grab your favorite apron and let's start.
Tung Po is a classic Chinese braised pork dish that originated in the Song Dynasty. It is named after the famous poet Su Shi, also known as Su Dongpo, who is said to have created the recipe. The dish is known for its tender and succulent pork belly, which is slow-cooked in a rich and flavorful sauce made from soy sauce, rice wine, ginger, and sugar. The resulting dish is melt-in-your-mouth deliciousness, with a perfect balance of sweet and savory flavors.
