Dongpo pork

Absolutely delicious. And it is how a piece of belly pork should be cooked. I am making it today for lunch tomorrow. You have to be patient but the recipe is easy. Legend has it that Su Dongpo, a poet from the Song Dynasty, asked the cook to give the workers a pork dish with the wine. The cook thought the wine was to be cooked WITH the pork. I doubt if those workers would ever forgive either the chef or the poet if they were Aussies.

When the recipe is right and simple, it lasts a thousand years. And cooking it slowly is how an investment should be. You put the best ingredients in and you wait, and wait, and wait for the dish to 'mature'.
