Home: my first attempt at Chairman Mao's braised pork

Place: Home, Beijing.
Chairman Mao's red-braised pork (紅燒肉).


This is the same dish that the Chairman would ask his Hunan chefs to
cook for him while he was in Beijing. My attempt is partially a dedication
to the Republic's 60th anniversary, and partially an inspired response to
Han Sanping's film -- The Founding of A Republic, 《建國大業》 -- in which
the dish made a small but conspicuous cameo.
