Dongpo pork is a delicious pork dish created by Su Shi when he was the deputy envoy of the Youth League Training in Huangzhou. In Song Dynasty, although the consumption of pork was large, its position in meat was not high. Expensive sheep and cheap pigs are a kind of diet fashion in Song Dynasty.
Su Shi "likes pigs". When he arrived in Huangzhou, he found that "Huangzhou is good pork, and the price is as low as dirt. You refuse to eat, but the poor don't know how to cook. " After practice, he created a method of cooking pork with low fire: "Wash in the pot, and there is less water. I can't afford firewood. Don't rush him when he is ripe. When the temperature is enough, he will be beautiful. " This practice spread and became the world-famous "Dongpo Meat".
Dongpo meat belongs to Zhejiang cuisine, with pork as the main ingredient. The dishes are thin and tender, red and bright in color, rich in juice, crisp and rotten but not broken in shape, fragrant and waxy but not greasy. Dongpo meat has good color, aroma and taste, and is deeply loved by people. Slow fire, less water and more wine is the key to cooking this dish.
