braised pork

Overview

During the Chinese New Year, every family will have braised pork, but now that living conditions have improved, we don’t eat much braised pork. In winter, you need to eat more meat and store fat. Braised pork is the best choice at this time. The color is red and bright, the taste is rich, fat but not greasy, thin but not fat. I don't like eating fat meat, but I like it more and more.
