Indulge your taste buds with a delightful dish that embodies the rich flavors of Chinese cuisine—braised pork with double spring onions. This mouthwatering recipe not only promises a hearty meal but also caters to those with dietary restrictions, as it is both gluten-free and dairy-free. With tender pieces of pork osso buco, or shoulder, slow-cooked to perfection, each bite reveals layers of savory goodness enhanced by the aromatic fragrance of ginger and garlic.

The simplicity of the preparation belies the depth of flavor achieved through the slow braising process, which infuses the meat with the umami richness of soy sauce and the unique touch of Shaohsing rice wine. The addition of spring onions, in two forms—fat and thin—offers a delightful contrast in texture and sweetness, while a kick from dried red chili brings an extra dimension to this comforting dish.

Perfect for antipasti, starters, or simply as a snack, this braised pork is designed to impress. Serve it alongside fluffy steamed rice and bok choi for a fulfilling meal that not only satisfies your hunger but also warms your heart.
