See RecipePork belly, shoulder, and loin are popular cuts for Chinese cooking due to their flavor and texture. They can be used in a variety of dishes, from stir-fries to dumplings.
Avoid overcooking the pork, and consider using a marinade or tenderizing technique such as velveting, which involves coating the pork in a mixture of cornstarch, egg white, and rice wine.
Key spices include five-spice powder, star anise, Sichuan peppercorns, and ginger. These provide the characteristic flavors of Chinese pork dishes.
The red hue of char siu comes from red fermented bean curd or red food coloring added to the marinade. Some recipes use hoisin sauce for color as well.
Dumplings can be steamed, boiled, or pan-fried. Steaming preserves the dumplings' shape and texture, while pan-frying adds a crispy exterior.
