Chestnut Braised Pork

Overview

It's the season to eat chestnuts again. I bought some when I went to the market to buy vegetables today. They are very fresh, big and golden, and I am drooling just looking at them. Braised with pork or pork ribs, it’s especially sweet and delicious, and kids love it!
