Red braising is a classic Chinese style of slow-cooking meat in a stock flavoured with spices, sugar and soy sauce, resulting in a beautifully rich combination of deeply savoury and sweet tastes, with meltingly tender meat. The spices in the braised pork include star anise, cassia and ginger with a little mandarin peel for added fragrance. We’re serving it with a smashed cucumber salad spiked with Sichuan pepper, garlic and chilli and a sesame rice.
