Sour Cabbage Pork Belly Soup

Hi! For today, this blog will introduce a staple dish from NorthEast cuisine! Sour Cabbage Pork Belly soup.

I have previously mentioned in the introduction blog that NorthEast cuisine includes pickled cabbage, the pickling draws influence from Korea and cabbage stew is a typical dish in Russia. You can see how the bordering countries influenced this delicious dish.

This dish may sound very odd to you, but to put this into perspective, think of it as Chinese sauerkraut with slices of pork, clear noodles aromatic spices. At home, pickled cabbage is made in large batches during the harsh winter weather, where the temperature would be -20 degrees in NorthEast China. Chinese cabbage is very cheap and one of the few vegetables available to be locally sourced.

The pork can be dipped in soy sauce for extra flavour.

This dish is very filling, hearty and flavourful. A restaurant I recommend is called The NorthEast Restaurant at Eastwood. This is a newly opened restaurant that brings nostalgic memories of the old days in China; with the decor of newspapered walls, traditional cups and teapot. They have this dish as one of their recommended dishes to eat.

Address: 4a Hillview Ln, Eastwood NSW 2122
