  Dongpo-Schweinebauch — chinesisch rot geschmort

  A glistening masterpiece of Hangzhou cuisine, named for the Song-dynasty poet Su Dongpo: thick squares of pork belly slow-braised in Shaoxing wine, soy sauce and sugar with ginger and scallion until the meat is meltingly tender and the fat turns silky and jelly-like. The cubes emerge mahogany-glazed and so soft they can be cut with chopsticks, balancing rich and sweet, savoury and aromatic. Cooked low and slow until the sauce reduces to a glossy syrup, Dongpo pork is a celebrated banquet dish — the very definition of luxurious, melt-in-the-mouth red-braised pork.

  Quesabirria-Tacos

  Quesabirria tacos fold slow-braised, chile-stained beef and molten Oaxaca cheese into corn tortillas that are dipped in the consomé's red fat, then griddled until the edges shatter. A low oven braise with guajillo and ancho chiles builds a deeply savory broth and meat so tender it falls apart, and cooking the tortillas in the skimmed birria fat is what gives these tacos their signature color, crunch, and dunkable richness.
