Simplified Recipe: Chinese Pork Belly w/ Preserved Vegetables (Mei Cai) 梅菜扣肉 Mui Choy Pork

Pork Belly with Preserved Vegetables aka Mei Cai Kou Rou in Chinese / Mui Choy Kau Yuk in Cantonese is a notable dish in Hakka cuisine. According to wikipedia, Hakkas are Han Chinese people whose ancestral homes are mainly in the hakka-speaking provincial areas of Guangdong, Fujian, Jiangxi, Guangxi, Sichuan, Hunan, Zhejiang, Hainan and Guizhou. My grandparents were from Meixian formerly known as Meihsien, a district of Meizhou City, in northeastern Guangdong Province, China. What about yours?
