For an even richer flavor, consider adding a star anise or a small piece of dried orange peel to the braising liquid. If you can't find Chinese rock sugar, you can substitute with granulated sugar, but the rock sugar imparts a unique subtle sweetness. Don't rush the braising process! The longer the pork simmers, the more tender and flavorful it will become. Leftovers are even more delicious the next day, as the flavors continue to meld and deepen.
