Babi Pangang with Pulled Pork
Type of dish: Pig

Babi pangang is the name for various Far Eastern dishes made from pork. It means no more than roast pork. The dish probably originates from China, where they prepared roasted pork belly. It is sometimes said that the red sweet and sour sauce is a Dutch invention, but that is unlikely because it was already being served in Indonesia around 1900. However, variants using other meat instead of bacon originated in the Netherlands. Because of the increasing prosperity after the Second World War, bacon was seen as a poor man's food. We make an even newer variant, with pulled pork.
