The sparkling [Grandma’s Braised Pork]

Overview

When I was a kid, I loved to eat the braised pork cooked by my grandpa. Every time there was braised pork, I would eat up the rice immediately. In the past, logistics and transportation were not so developed. There was not much fish in home-cooked dishes in Shanghai, and the cooking of chicken and duck was relatively simple. Only braised pork is a dish that I never tire of eating. After eating, I would go to the cupboard and steal two pieces. I think those were the most carefree days in my life.
