White Pepper Pork Belly Soup

This rich and aromatic pork belly soup is a comforting masterpiece, blending tender pork belly, chicken carcass, and fragrant spices for a deeply flavorful broth.

Guangdong rice wine adds a subtle sweetness, while white fruits and dried red dates bring a delicate balance of texture and natural sweetness. Slowly cooked in a clay pot, the broth becomes luxuriously rich, infused with ginger, scallions, and cilantro for a fresh finish. Perfect for nourishing meals, this soup is a harmonious blend of savory, spicy, and herbal notes—a true Cantonese-inspired delight. Serve hot for a soul-warming experience!
