Zhiweiguan Dongpo Pork, second item half price - enjoy it easily without leaving home

Hangzhou is a city that combines "elegance" with everyday life very well. In the eyes of Hangzhou people, the sounds of Hangzhou are not only the chatter of ordinary folks playing cards and drinking tea under the osmanthus trees, but also the gurgling sound of Dongpo Pork bubbling in the pot. They all say, "Above there is heaven, below there are Suzhou and Hangzhou." In the eyes of food lovers, this saying holds true as well, because this editor thinks that wherever there is Dongpo Pork, that is heaven.

Pork is the most ordinary ingredient, yet the method of making Dongpo Pork is so refined and unique that it cannot be presented without putting in full effort. Beyond itself, it also carries rich cultural meaning. This editor thinks the essence of this dish is exactly like the temperament of Hangzhou people: Hangzhou people are refined but not pretentious, pursuing the joys of life while still staying down-to-earth. The soul of Hangzhou lies in its everyday beauty.

When talking about Dongpo Pork, one cannot help but mention its inventor, Mr. Su Dongpo. Mr. Dongpo was a famous gourmet in ancient China, skilled at cooking, brewing wine, and making porridge. He was especially fond of pork, even writing an "Ode to Pork" specifically for it, and he had his own method for cooking pork: "Use a slow fire, add little water, and when the heat is sufficient, it will be beautiful on its own."

The story of how "Dongpo Pork" got its name goes back to when Su Shi served as governor of Hangzhou during the Song Dynasty. In May and June, heavy rain fell continuously in the western Zhejiang area, and large areas of crops were flooded. Because Su Shi managed the flood effectively, the people of Hangzhou ultimately weathered the crisis. To express their gratitude to Su Shi, they all brought him his favorite pork.

After receiving it, he braised it into red-braised pork using his cooking method and distributed it to the laborers who participated in dredging West Lake. After everyone ate it, they all praised it, and so people named this braised pork "Dongpo Pork" after him.

Slow fire, little water, and plenty of wine are the secrets to making Hangzhou Dongpo Pork. The main ingredient is always half-fat, half-lean pork, and the finished dish is always neatly arranged in mahjong-tile pieces, bright red and translucent, with thin skin and tender meat, falling apart tender yet keeping its shape.

If you want to taste authentic Dongpo Pork, the century-old restaurant Zhiweiguan, long known for the saying "stop your carriage at the smell of flavor, dismount at the scent of fragrance," can be called an excellent choice.
