braised pork in brown sauce

Introduction:

"Information on braised meat - when we talk about braised meat with Su Dongpo, we can't forget Su Dongpo, who pushed the cause of eating braised meat to the peak. It is because of his efforts that braised pork has been able to move from the grassroots to the upper class, from the common people's cooking pot to the literati's table. In fact, Dongpo meat, which has a long history and is famous in the north and south of the country, is, to put it bluntly, braised meat. Studying the history of braised pork, it's really hard to say when and where it came into being. However, due to Mr. Dongpo's tireless efforts, since then, braised pork has officially stepped onto the stage of history. "The price of good pork in Huangzhou is as cheap as dirt. The rich refuse to eat it, while the poor do not know how to cook it. Slow fire, less water, when the fire is full, it is beautiful. Come and have a bowl every morning, and you'll be too full for your family. " From this poem "eating pork" written by Su Dongpo, it is not difficult to see that Mr. Su is not only "delicious" like "coming to a bowl every morning", but also well versed in the cooking method of "slow fire, less water, when the heat is enough, it is beautiful". All these are really worth learning from those "lazy" people who like to eat braised pork but are lazy or unable to do it. We can see clearly that Mr. Su did a good job in the construction of spiritual civilization - while writing poems and odes, he did not forget the construction of material civilization - eating braised pork. At that time, he told us with his behavior that "both spiritual civilization and material civilization should be grasped, and both hands should be hard." this kind of foresight is really admirable and admirable. I guess that Mr. Su's bold and unconstrained poems, such as "the river goes East, the waves are washed away, and the romantic figures of the ages" with his brilliant pen, may be that after a big meal of braised pork, his creative inspiration comes into being. Great writers have their own unique writing habits. Li Bai is able to write "a hundred poems on wine". Why can't Dongpo write "a hundred poems on meat"
