Su Shi, a renowned literary figure of the Northern Song Dynasty, was known as the “Dongpo Jushi”. Dongpo Pork is a famous dish in the Jiangsu and Zhejiang cuisine that has been passed down for nearly a thousand years. It is believed to have been created by Su Dongpo himself during the Northern Song Dynasty. The dish is made by slowly braising pork with soy sauce, rock sugar, Shaoxing wine, and other seasonings.
