Fried Pork - China & Beyond (Stories, Food, and Noise) - Dispatch 001
Alright. Let's start at the beginning.
The first dish I ordered when I got here, was one of my favorite things I found on my very first time in China. It just so happened to originate in this very province.
November, 2015 :
Guobaorou (锅包肉) - One particularly late night, a few years back in Beijing, Brad M. Seippel brought me out for dinner and suggested this. My eyes glazed over at the first bite, and I was hooked. Guobaorou is similar to your American style "sweet and sour / orange chicken" except with pork, and not super shitty. Think little pork chops, breaded, and covered in sauce. What's great for me, is that this dish actually originated where I am now, Dongbei. Some come with a honey like sauce, some more sweet, sour, spicy. I've barely scratched the surface on any other regional specialties here.
(My...how things have changed since then.)
