Maojia Braised Pork
Recently, there are many Maojia braised pork, the main theme of Hunan cuisine competitions, and I am eager to try it because I usually eat a lot of braised pork, and basically I follow the Maojia braised pork. We have a Maojia restaurant here, where we have many opportunities to eat. Colleagues like to have wedding banquets there. Every time, braised pork is indispensable. I think the authentic taste is like that:
Fat but not greasy, salty, spicy, red and bright in color.
