Special Food
Red-Braised
Pork Belly 红烧肉
Shanghai Soup
Dumplings 小笼包
Hairy Crab 大闸蟹
This sumptuous dish is more about the fat than
the meat, with squares of trembling meat slowly
braised in velvety soy sauce, sugar and Shaoxing
wine. In addition to the fatty pork, quails eggs
and tofu ties are often braised with the meat as
well.
One of Shanghai’s most popular dishes is pork
dumplings filled with soup made from pork skin
gelatin. The Shanghai version of these are more
robust than the Nanjing-style dumplings. The
filling is seasoned with a touch of sugar, which
changes the flavor profile completely.
Every season, citizens (and other gourmands
around Asia) eagerly wait for the ninth and
tenth months of the lunar year, when the hairy
crabs (or mitten crabs) are at their fattest and
most delectable. These tiny beasts are best when
they are simply steamed and served with vinegar
and ginger.
