Fragrant Stir-Fries & Succulent Ribs

Tofu in the form of preserved beancurd gives a tremendous lift to many an eastern Chinese meat dish, such as Pork in Preserved Beancurd — a deeply satisfying dish when served with fluffy white rice.

Lychee Pork takes on a delicious sweet edge with the addition of these fragrant fruits. The Hangzhou dish of Tung-Po Pork has earned its global cachet as a dish that was inspired by a Song dynasty poet, Su Tung-Po. Today, it is an eminent staple in Chinese restaurants around the world, as is Sweet-and-Sour Spare Ribs, another eastern Chinese classic.
