About Braised Pork Belly
A classic Chinese braised pork-belly dish; slow-cooked, high in fat.
Health Benefits of Braised Pork Belly
Calories come mainly from the belly fat
100g of red-braised pork has about 271 kcal and 25.5g fat (85% of the calories). The classic recipe uses fatty pork belly, plus caramelised sugar and a long stew, giving soft, flavourful meat that is calorie-dense. One piece (~50g) is about 135 kcal.
Smarter way to enjoy it
Have 2-3 pieces at a time with plenty of vegetables; skim off floating oil before serving to cut fat. Use leaner cut (e.g. plum/梅花 meat) or add skinless chicken in the stew to lower average calorie density.
