背景ストーリー
The definitive Shanghainese iteration of braised pork relies heavily on regional ingredients: Shaoxing rice wine, dark soy sauce, and massive amounts of rock sugar to create its legendary caramel sweetness.
現地の秘密
"Must be eaten explicitly over a bowl of plain white rice to absorb the intense, viscous sauce. Book well in advance at Old Jesse Restaurant (Lao Jishi) on Tianping Road for the ultimate caramelized version."
