Tips:
Poetry heart phrase:
1: Pork belly can also be cut into small pieces and then blanched, because the meat that is blanched and then cut is easier to cut into squares, so I am used to blanching and then cutting.
2: When cooking the chestnut, first use a knife to make a cut on the shell, so that it will naturally split when cooking, making it easier to remove the shell. If you use a kitchen knife, put the flat side of the chestnut on the chopping board, with the semi-circular side facing up, and use the tail of the kitchen knife, that is, the tip of the end that you hold in your hand, and cut it down.
3: If you like to boil the chestnuts very badly, you can add them together with other ingredients when adding hot water.
4: When making braised pork, it is best to add hot water instead of cold water.
5: Do not add too much salt, so that the meat is easier to boil.
6: Star anise, especially cinnamon, the amount should not be too much, the right amount is to increase the fragrance, too much will make it bitter There is no need to add angelica, but if you add a small section, the meat will be more fragrant, and it will also nourish the blood.
7: When the meat is boiled, it can be boiled and then used on a low fire, and when the juice is collected, use a high fire.
