Chinese Kau Yuk

Must Try

We all grew up eating this dish at every occasion celebrated at a Chinese Restaurant. It is traditionally served along-side wonderful soft steamed sweet buns. As I got older, the dish was still a part of the menu, but I now realized that it was made with pork belly. Very fatty pork belly.

Thus, I wanted to prepare this dish at home, still using a fatty cut of pork, but controlling it somewhat. My favorite neighborhood Chinese Restaurant sells those steamed buns, so it replicates the experience at home.
