Red Braised Pork is a rich Chinese dish made with pork belly slowly cooked in a savory-sweet sauce until tender, glossy, and deeply flavorful. It has a soft, melt-in-your-mouth texture with warm notes of soy sauce, ginger, garlic, star anise, and caramelized sugar, because apparently pork belly decided subtlety was not part of its life plan.
This dish can be made gluten-free by using tamari or gluten-free soy sauce and checking that all sauces and seasonings are wheat-free. It is perfect with steamed rice, greens, or simple vegetables, allowing the rich sauce to soak into every bite for a comforting and satisfying meal.
