braised pork

Overview

My Man Bao has been thinking about braised pork since last week. I promised him to make it on the weekend, but he was delayed because he went out to study last week. I kept talking about it for a few days this week, and finally satisfied him. While eating, I said, the braised pork made by my mother is so delicious~

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Clean the pork belly and cut into square pieces.

   

2. 2 Put the pork belly pieces into a pot, add water, add a tablespoon of cooking wine, and boil for two to three minutes. This step is mainly to remove the fishy smell.

   

3. 3 After turning off the heat, pour away the water used to cook the meat, pour cold water into the pot, and pass the cold water through the pork pieces. This step is mainly to make the meat firmer and taste better.

   

4. 4 Remove the meat pieces, drain them and set aside.

   

5. 5 Pour oil into the pot and heat it up.

   

6. 6 Pour the meat cubes into the oil pan, turn over a few times, and stir out the fat. This step is mainly to make the meat less greasy.

   

7. 7 Remove the meat pieces and set aside. Reserve the oil from the previous step for cooking.

   

8. 8 Pour an appropriate amount of vegetable oil into the pot, add a handful of rock sugar, and heat over medium heat.

   

9. 9 Crush the rock sugar with a spatula, stir, and heat until the rock sugar melts and turns caramel color.

   

10. 10 Pour the meat pieces into the pot and stir-fry quickly to make the meat pieces evenly coated with sugar color. Add a tablespoon of dark soy sauce and continue to stir-fry a few times to make the meat pieces redder and brighter.

    

11. 11 Add appropriate amount of water to the pot.

    

12. 12 Add appropriate amount of light soy sauce, oyster sauce and salt.

    

13. 13 Add onion, ginger, garlic, pepper, star anise, cinnamon, germanium, cloves, tangerine peel, angelica, cumin, dried hawthorn and rock sugar.

    

14. 14 If you like braised eggs, peel off the shells of a few hard-boiled eggs and put them into the broth. This step can also be omitted.

    

15. 15 Cover and simmer over medium-low heat for half an hour.

    

16. 16 Let the fire cook for more than ten minutes to collect the juice.

    

17. 17 Take it out of the pan and serve on a plate.

    

18. 18 So fragrant.
