Tender Red Braised Pork is a classic Chinese dish that is sure to impress your guests. This dish is made with succulent pork that is slow-cooked in a flavorful sauce until it is tender and juicy. The key to making this dish is to use the right ingredients and to cook it slowly over low heat.

To make Tender Red Braised Pork, you will need the following ingredients:

- 2 pounds of pork belly, cut into bite-sized pieces

- 1/2 cup of brown sugar
- 6 cloves of garlic, minced
- 2 pieces of star anise

To start, heat the vegetable oil in a large pot over medium-high heat. Add the pork belly and cook until it is browned on all sides. Remove the pork from the pot and set it aside.
In the same pot, add the garlic, star anise, cinnamon sticks, and dried orange peel. Cook for a few minutes until fragrant. Add the soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, water, and brown sugar. Stir until the sugar has dissolved.
Return the pork to the pot and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 2-3 hours, or until the pork is tender and the sauce has thickened.
Serve the Tender Red Braised Pork hot with steamed rice and your favorite vegetables. The dish has a rich, savory flavor with a hint of sweetness from the brown sugar. The pork is incredibly tender and melts in your mouth.
In two words, this dish can be described as 'Savory Delight'. The three main ingredients are pork belly, soy sauce, and Shaoxing wine.
