Susur Lee
Wuxi Pork with Wine Sauce
Active time: 40 min Start to finish: 4 hr
In China, northern China in particular, pork belly — fresh (unsmoked) bacon with skin and bones — is cooked just like the rest of the pig. Chef Susur Lee simmers it, then steams it until its fall-off-the-bone-tender. Pork belly is available at Chinese meat markets and some butcher shops.
