Dear friends, it's time for those dishes that warm you up and provide you with the slow burning energy throughout these long chilly days. I want to introduce the Chinese Cured Pork Belly, also known as Lap Yuk or 臘肉, a Cantonese preserved meat specialty that is sooo delicious and comforting to eat during the autumn and winter months. Absolute perfection with a steaming hot bowl of rice.
If you've never had it before, it's vaguely reminiscent of bacon being from the same cut of meat but, I think, even better in its own unique luscious porky sort of way.
