Red Simmered Whole Pork Recipe
Red Simmered Whole Pork was my family cook's signature dish, now that he's gone I have taken up the task of preparing it for the family. The Red Simmered Whole Pork can be considered the gem of the Chinese cuisine. This recipe is a good way to use Pork. My friends tried this Red Simmered Whole Pork the other day and they simply adored it. Do I need to say more?
