Braised Pork with Dried Plums

This succulent Braised Pork Belly with Mustard Greens is a classic dish bursting with rich, savory flavors and tender textures. Juicy pork belly cubes are caramelized to perfection with sugar, then simmered with aromatic ginger, garlic, scallions, star anise, and a hint of chili heat. The dried mustard greens add a tangy, earthy depth after soaking and rinsing, balancing the dish’s richness. Slow-cooked in soy sauce and cooking wine, the pork becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender while the sauce thickens into a glossy, irresistible glaze. Perfect over steamed rice, this hearty recipe delivers a comforting umami punch with every bite. A must-try for lovers of bold, homestyle Chinese cuisine!
