Many other dishes have regional characteristics, but braised pork is not regional. All over the country, braised pork is a home-cooked dish. Every competent housewife has her own unique method of making braised pork. Whoever is a copycat, no one will say who is authentic. Braised pork in brown sauce, it’s delicious and lively, it’s worth it

A bowl of delicious braised pork with red and shiny color, strong and lingering aroma, fat but not greasy, thin but not firewood, the skin is gelatinous, the fat can be melted in the mouth, and the lean meat is full of sauce... …This kind of aroma and taste is very satisfying, and it is very family friendly

Braised Pork with Braised Pork, the most important raw material is pork belly. Other ingredients are available on the market. They can be served with potatoes, carrots, chestnuts and chestnuts. The most important thing is that they have enough starch, enough oil and taste, and they are more resistant to cooking. They must be able to maintain their shape under hot oil. It changes color and shatters as soon as it is cooked, destroying the beauty of braised pork. I also used the spicy sauce of southern milk to cook the braised pork once without the ingredients. The effect was amazing.

Braised Pork with Chestnut and Mushroom

1. Fried sugar color. The pork belly is watered, cut into pieces, and dried in water. Put oil in the pot, put the sugar when the oil is hot, watch the fire, and wait for the sugar to change color. This color is still too tender. It is better to wait for it to turn honey brown and start to bubble. This step is a bit difficult. Once the sugar color is too high, not only the color is not good, but the taste will also become bitter, which is not cost-effective. If you’re not sure, just save this step. It’s the same with soy sauce

2. Put the meat in the pan and fry, evenly color, sprinkle cooking wine, put ginger

3. The characteristic of fried sugar color is red and bright, with little advantage in taste. On the contrary, if you go too far, you will suffer. Satisfied with the color, add the egg and fry it, then pour it in boiling water, slightly higher than the meat noodles. Boil on high heat for 5 minutes, add soy sauce, you can also add two star anise, turn to low heat and simmer

4. Simmer on low heat for about 45 minutes (peeling chestnut numbly during this period), the aroma of star anise has come out, so turn to medium heat and add chestnut

5. Simmer the chestnuts until they are just cooked, about 20 minutes, and add fresh fragrant ru. Fresh shiitake mushrooms ripen quickly and don’t need to be cooked for long. When they are ripe, turn to high heat to collect the juice, taste, and add some salt if it is not salty
