Pork belly and roasted dried beans

Overview

There are a lot of beans at home this year. I dried them in the sun and pickled them. As long as the weather is good, it is very easy to dry the beans and store them for later consumption. It has a different feeling from fresh beans.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Soak dried beans in cold water until soft.

   

2. 2 Cut the pork belly into large pieces. The picture is of a semi-finished product, the finished product is not photographed, and of course it is not as big as it is.

   

3. 3 Wash the soaked dried beans and cut them into sections.

   

4. 4 Prepare star anise, leaves, cinnamon and other spices you usually like to add.

   

5. 5 Prepare some slices of ginger.

   

6. 6 Heat oil in a pan, a little bit of oil, pour in pork belly and fry carefully over low heat.

   

7. 7 Fry the pork belly until it is brown and a little oily.

   

8. 8 Add rock sugar, star anise leaves, cinnamon ginger, etc.

   

9. 9 Continue to stir-fry over low heat until the sugar is basically melted. I enjoy the caramel flavor that comes out. In fact, it seems that I can't tell the difference when I eat it whether it is fried or not.

   

10. 10 Pour in soy sauce, the amount of soy sauce is enough to make the meat and beans salty, because no more salt is added.

    

11. 11 Pour in hot water, bring to a boil over high heat and then simmer over low heat. If you check if there is not enough water halfway through, add some more. I boiled it and then changed the pot to simmer it slowly, because the weather was too hot and the whole room was very hot when burning gas, so it didn't matter if I didn't change the pot.

    

12. 12 Cook until the meat and beans are as tender as you like, and reduce the juice over high heat.

    

13. 13 Remove from the pan.
