Classic Chinese dish serves as community connection
Red braised pork belly & Grandma
It was from a WeChat group of more than 100 Chinese residents in Chico that I learned that Project Tea had launched the Pork Belly Rice Bowl.
My eyes lit up when I saw the photo taken by someone who had already tried it: The red braised pork belly with a perfect balance of fat and lean, white sesame seeds scattered over the meat, and the soy-based sauce soaking into jasmine rice.
It looked so unmistakably Chinese.
The lack of authentic Chinese food has always been my biggest complaint about Chico. Read Yucheng Tang’s sidebar here.
