Braised Pork with Rice Noodles

This succulent **Pork Belly with Cellophane Noodles** is a rich, flavorful dish that combines tender braised pork with silky noodles soaked in a fragrant broth. The pork belly is first blanched to remove impurities, then stir-fried with aromatic scallions, ginger, Sichuan peppercorns, and star anise for a deep, savory base. A blend of soy sauce, cooking wine, and rock sugar caramelizes beautifully, infusing the meat with a sweet and umami glaze. Simmered slowly for an hour, the pork becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender. The magic happens when cellophane noodles are added—unsoaked to maximize broth absorption—creating a perfect balance of textures. Each bite delivers the warmth of Sichuan spices and the comforting richness of slow-cooked pork. A must-try for lovers of hearty, aromatic dishes!
