A splash of beer and vinegar adds complexity, simmering down to a luscious glaze. For a spicy kick, red pepper can be added. Finished with fresh scallions, this dish is perfect served over rice or noodles. The slow braising ensures melt-in-your-mouth tenderness, making it a standout centerpiece for any dinner table.
