The arrival of Liqiu indicates that summer is about to leave us,
It also made me feel the pleasure of the cool breeze after hiding in the air-conditioned room for a summer.
Especially in Liqiu, I have an excuse to eat up my blocked appetite.
In addition, September is my birthday month. I feel that a busy life always has to be a little bit oily in order to be motivated.
And when it comes to Liqiu, there are even more sayings about autumn fat
In addition, it happens that [He Ran Organic Soy Sauce] is coming,
Let me, a meat-loving child, have an inescapable reason to cook this dish,
Plum dried vegetables should not be unfamiliar to children in Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai.
When I was young, I went to the street stall in Zhenjiang and bought a dried plum cake.
I was overwhelmed by the salty and sweet taste.
Since he was a child in Shanghai, his father would also cook pork with dried plums
But every time my father would say that the next pot will be more delicious,
At that time, I didn’t understand why I couldn’t eat the fresh ones and I had to return them to the pot.
Only when I grew up did I know that the essence of roast pork with dried plums is actually the dried plums that are soaked in oil and water.
Therefore, the meat should choose fat and lean pork belly, and cook it once before each time.
Gradually, the fat part melted after several times of re-cooking and melted into the dried plums.
When you add a bite of dried plums, you can taste the mellow meat in addition to the unique aroma of the dish.
This is the essence of this traditional Zhejiang dish.
Every bite is like eating a piece of fine pork belly,
Pair it with a bowl of rice, that's a treat.

Pork with Dried Vegetables and Plum recipe

2. Pour in the prepared pork belly with cold oil in a hot pan, stir-fry evenly, pour in some cooking wine

3. Cover the pan and cook for 2 minutes to evaporate the water; pour the dried plums into the pan and fry evenly; add the water just covering the dried plums and cook on medium heat

4. When cooking, add organic soy sauce, salt, sugar and rock sugar all at once, and stir-fry evenly

5. Cover the pot and cook, collect the juice, and then out of the pot

Tips:
1. Because dried plums are more capable of absorbing oil, pour a little more oil into the pot to make it easier to taste.
2. If you don't have organic soy sauce at home, you can use light soy sauce and dark soy sauce instead. If you like darker-colored soy sauce, use dark soy sauce.
3. I use more fatty pork belly, if you don’t like fatty meat, you can choose less fatty meat, but it’s better to have a little fatty meat, so that the taste of dried plums will be better.
