Braised pork belly & braised tofu

Overview

Mr. Xiaoyan and his daughter like to eat braised pork. Although braised pork can be found everywhere in the market now, but to be honest, although the braised pork sold tastes good, it is really uneasy to eat. It is better to cook it at home, braised meat and vegetables in one pot, everyone has their own preference, and the whole family is happy. You can also make more at one time and store it in the refrigerator, so you can eat it as you go, which is very convenient~~ This time I used pork belly, boneless chicken legs, tofu, eggs, and two pieces of dried tofu. You can also braise some chicken feet, chicken wings, lotus roots, etc. according to your preference. In short, just whatever you like. Finally, I want to tell you that braised tofu is really more delicious than meat after soaking up the soup. If you don’t believe me, give it a try!
