Hongshao rou is red-braised pork belly cooked with soy sauce, rock sugar, Shaoxing wine, and aromatics until the sauce turns glossy and the fat softens without falling apart. Order **"benbang hongshao rou"** (*Shanghai-style red-braised pork*) and expect sweetness, soy depth, and rice as the real pairing. A portion is usually ¥68-188 in neighborhood Shanghainese restaurants, with higher prices at heritage dining rooms and private villas. The trap is mistaking every dark pork belly for Shanghai hongshao rou: heavy spice, chili heat, or dry lean cubes mean the kitchen is not cooking the local style.
