Mom's Shanghai red-braised pork belly (Shàng hǎi hóng shāo ròu) from My Shanghai: Recipes and Stories from a City on the Water (page 93) by Betty Liu

Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

    Didn't need the full 3 hours. Did not have spring onions, subbed with leeks. Also did not have any tofu knots, so used some beancurd skins instead which I enjoyed.
