How it's used
This dish is a staple of Hakka cuisine that has become deeply integrated into Cantonese dining culture. The key to a good version is the long braising process, which allows the fatty pork belly to absorb the salty, umami flavour of the preserved mustard greens. It is almost always served as a main dish in a multi-course meal rather than as a standalone portion.
