Description
A traditional Fujian preparation using hong qu (red yeast rice) — rice fermented with Monascus purpureus fungi — as both colouring agent and flavour contributor. The red-crimson pork belly braise is defined by its vivid colour and the deep, slightly funky complexity of the fermented red rice. Different from similar-looking Cantonese dishes: Fujian version uses a true red rice paste, not just colouring.
