That depends on whether you're Jewish. Pork is not kosher, so if you're Jewish it's not kosher to eat it. But if you're not Jewish then it is kosher for you to eat anything you like, so long as it didn't come from an animal that was still alive. There are some traditional Chinese dishes that are not kosher even for non-Jews, because the animal is eaten alive, but pork isn't one of them.
