A Shanghai specialty! "You will not find this dish on restaurant menus because it is too time-consuming. However, it is as common to Chinese families as roast beef is to Western families. It is delicious with steamed buns and any vegetable dish." From Madame Wong's Long-Life Chinese Cookbook.

This recipe was okay. The pork was tender, but the sauce was a little too sweet for my taste. I also found that it took a lot longer to cook than the recipe said. Overall, I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

I was a little disappointed with this recipe. The pork was tough, and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong. I might try it again with some modifications.
