Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Select the pork belly between the fat and lean parts of the pork ribs and cut into two palm-sized cubes. Remove the pig hair and rinse thoroughly.

   

2. 2 Pour cold water into the pot, blanch the water, take it out and wash off the foam with hot water.

   

3. 3 Change the water in the pot, add peppercorns, aniseed, cinnamon, grass fruit, and ginger slices and cook until the water is hot.

   

4. 4 Add the meat pieces and 40g of cooking wine.

   

5. 5 Cook until the meat can be pierced with chopsticks, but it will be a little difficult to pierce. Cook for about 25-30 minutes.

   

6. 6 Take out the meat pieces and smear them with honey while it's still hot, smearing them on all sides.

   

7. 7 There are also ways to apply soy sauce or salt + vinegar, and the methods vary from place to place. It is said that applying salt + vinegar will make small bubbles explode.

   

8. 8 Use a bamboo skewer to poke as many holes as possible in the pig skin. Poking holes will help the oil in the fat meat flow out; secondly, it will reduce the oil collapse.

   

9. 9 Add more oil to the wok. When the oil is 50% hot, add the pork and cover the pot to prevent the oil from collapsing. Note: Dry the meat before putting it in the pot. There is a lot of water and oil collapse. Reminder: Put the meat pieces directly into the pot. The color of the meat skin will be too dark if it is close to the bottom of the pot. Be careful to turn the meat pieces frequently or put the meat pieces in the frying pan to fry. The color will be uniform and beautiful, and the meat skin will not stick to the bottom.

   

10. 10 The skin should be fried to a chestnut color, but not black. If you occasionally have dark spots, just wash them with water.

    

11. 11 If you want the meat skin to become wrinkled, put the fried meat pieces into the original soup and continue to cook until it is soft enough to be easily pierced with chopsticks. I used a pressure cooker and cooked it on low heat for 20 minutes.

    

12. 12 The wrinkles of the pigskin are beautiful. The processed roasted pork can be made into braised pork with pickled vegetables, stuffed pork with sand, stewed vegetables, etc.
