How it's used
Ordering this dish often implies a preference for rich, fatty pork belly that has been slow-cooked until it melts in the mouth. It is frequently associated with traditional banquet dining rather than quick, casual meals. The flavor profile relies heavily on the quality of the Shaoxing wine used in the braising liquid.
