Tips:
Tips:
1. For pork belly, choose three layers of fat and lean pork belly. Boil the meat in a pot under cold water and cook for 15 minutes after it is boiled to fully remove the blood and fishy smell, as well as to remove excess fat, which makes it healthier to eat.
2. Meicai should choose good quality, no sediment, and the sediment in poor quality is difficult to clean with repeated washing liquid.
3. There are many ways to cook pork with Mei Cai. The more traditional method is to deep-fry the skin into tiger skin. This step is omitted here. After trying it once, I don't think it will increase the flavor compared to not deep-frying, and deep-frying is not very healthy. The key is that the oil splashes heavily when frying the pork skin. If you want to fry the tiger skin, you must pay attention to the pork belly. When frying in the oil, you must wipe off the surface water. When the meat is out of the pot, immediately cover the pot to avoid oil splashing. It hurts people, otherwise the oil will splash all over the kitchen! ! !
4. Pay attention to the amount of salt to be controlled, soy sauce, soy sauce, fermented bean curd juice are relatively salty, don't put too much salt.
5. Don’t throw away the leftover dried plums, cook some meat slices, wrap the bottom of the soy sauce, fill in the remaining dried plums, and continue to steam, each time it’s more fragrant, the more you steam it, the more fragrant it becomes!
