Braised Pork Belly with Beancurd Sticks
Braised pork belly with beancurd sticks is one of my favorite dishes that offers a balanced and nutritious meal. The combination of beancurd sticks and pork creates a perfect flavor. Adding beancurd sticks to the rich and flavorful braised pork belly helps absorb the pork's oil, reducing its greasiness. Meanwhile, the beancurd sticks soak up the aromatic meat juices, becoming even more flavorful.
