twice-cooked pork

Sichuan belly dish

Twice-cooked pork is a Sichuan dish in which pork belly is first simmered whole, then sliced thin and stir-fried with vegetables, chili bean paste, and fermented black beans.

The double cooking yields meat that is tender inside with slightly crisp, caramelized edges.

Called *huí guō ròu* in Chinese, meaning "returned to the wok meat."
