Braised Pork
1.
The materials are lined up for review, and cooking at home does not require a lot of spices. What you eat is the fresh original flavor of the ingredients, even the star anise can be left on.
2.
Cut the pork belly into pieces and soak in cold water to soak away blood and dirt. Soak it for more than half an hour and remove it, and control the water (or stick to the pan and splash the oil star). The soaked meat is white. If you don't have time to soak, you can blanch it.
3.
Heat a large iron pan, pour a little oil, and stir-fry the meat on low heat until the oil comes out. After frying, use hot water to wash off the oil, and then pull it out with cold water, so that it tastes good.
4.
The key step: fried sugar color. Wash the pot and boil it dry. Add a little bit of oil and add sugar. There are two tablespoons of sugar per pound of meat. After the sugar is put in the pot, stir it with a shovel continuously. At this time, the sugar is sticky and easy to pick up the pot.
5.
The sugar melted, the color gradually darkened, and you could smell a sweet smell, which was the taste of candied haws. Now the meat is the shredded pork.
6.
Pay attention to the small bubbles in the sugar color in the picture. When the sugar color has all small bubbles, there is a burnt aroma in the sweet fragrance, and the state of the sugar color has become thinner, and it is ready to be fried. At this time, put the meat off, turn off the heat, and stir well. How about it, it's a bit red and bright O(∩_∩)O haha~
7.
The rest is easy, add boiling water to the casserole, add the meat, green onion, ginger, star anise, cooking wine, salt and sugar. The sugar color is in place and it is not too sweet, so taste the taste and add some sugar. I added fresh soy sauce and a little bit of old soy sauce for coloring. This depends on your preference, but you can leave it alone if you like lighter colors.
8.
Just stew it. The meat is crispy and not greasy, and the soup is thick and not mixed. Take a few pieces of meat out, pour the broth on top of the white rice, and accompany some vegetables. A few big bowls will definitely relieve your hunger. Many ways to save trouble on the Internet are actually not as good as the traditional ones.
Tips:
1:: The meat should be simmered thoroughly and the fish should be fragrant, so you can simmer it for a while. There is a hand-pulled cabbage, which tastes great.
2: Some people say that sugar color is not healthy, but it is not eaten every day. The red and bright color of sugar cannot be replaced by soy sauce, and it can also be used to remove fishy.
3: If you use rock candy, beat it in the microwave first, it will break quickly. I heard that rock candy is more beautiful in color than granulated sugar, so I always use rock candy.
4: When frying the sugar color, if the temperature is too high, you can remove the pot from the fire at any time, so that it won't be mushy.
5: Eggs can be marinated in the broth, which is also delicious.
