A Shanghai specialty! "You will not find this dish on restaurant menus because it is too time-consuming. However, it is as common to Chinese families as roast beef is to Western families. It is delicious with steamed buns and any vegetable dish." From Madame Wong's Long-Life Chinese Cookbook.

This is one of my favorite recipes! The pork is always so tender and juicy, and the sauce is perfectly balanced. It's a great dish to serve for company or just for a weeknight meal.

This recipe was a bit too time-consuming for me. I think I would only make it again for a special occasion.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my pork turned out dry and overcooked. I think I might have cooked it for too long.
