Braised Pork with Rice Noodles

This succulent Braised Pork Belly with Bean Curd Sheets is a melt-in-your-mouth dish that combines rich flavors and tender textures. Juicy pork belly is slowly stir-fried to render its fat, then simmered with aromatic Chinese white wine, soy sauce, scallions, ginger, and star anise for deep, savory notes. A touch of rock sugar balances the saltiness with a hint of sweetness. The softened bean curd sheets soak up the luxurious braising liquid, becoming silky and flavorful. Simmered to perfection, the pork turns fork-tender while the sauce thickens into a glossy glaze. Perfect served over rice, this dish is a comforting, umami-packed masterpiece that highlights the best of slow-cooked Chinese cuisine. A must-try for lovers of hearty, flavorful meals!
