dongpo meat
Dongpo Pork is a famous dish in Zhejiang cuisine. There are many legends about Dongpo pork. You can check it up on Baidu. What I heard most was that after Su Dongpo dredged the West Lake, the people thanked him and sent him a lot of pork and rice wine. Su Dongpo felt that he should share it with the people, so he instructed his family to make braised pork and send it to the people. When cooking, his family understood "sending with wine" as "burning with wine". The result was that the braised pork was more fragrant, crispy and delicious. The eaters praised the unique and delicious meat roasting method sent by Su Dongpo. Everyone praised it and anecdotes spread. Dongpo meat is red and bright in color, soft and crispy, salty, fresh and slightly sweet, fat but not greasy, and very delicious.
