Jinan.
Braised pork is a traditional Shandong dish in Jinan. As early as the Qing Dynasty, it was circulated in Shandong that pork belly was tied with straw rope and stewed with soy sauce. This kind of meat melts in the mouth, fragrant but not greasy, and has a long aftertaste. There are other specialties in Jinan, such as Shanghe Old Tofu, Jinan Yaoji and Shengjing Beef. As one of the specialties of Jinan, bazi meat represents Jinan's rich food culture and unique cooking skills.
although "bazi meat" is a famous food in Jinan, it is also a local specialty, but it is not only exclusive. In Xuzhou, Jiangsu Province, it also has the same "bazi meat", and it is mainly soy sauce and salty taste, but the methods are slightly different.
Jinan bazi meat focuses on color and needs to be oil-cured, while Xuzhou bazi meat has no "frying" process, but before it is put into the pot, a pickling step is added. Therefore, there is not much difference in the "bazi meat" between the two places, and this special food is also labeled as Jinan and Xuzhou.
