Sauerkraut White Meat
1.
The secret of delicious sauerkraut and white meat is to use bone broth to stew, so prepare 1 stick bone and chop it into the soup (you can use spare ribs instead) and 1 catty of pork belly.
2.
Bring the water to a boil, put the stick bones and pork belly in a pot, blanch the water, remove the blood foam, add the green onion, sliced ginger and aniseed to remove the fishy.
3.
Remove the discolored stick bones, put them in a casserole, add water, add the shallots, ginger slices, and aniseed. Bring to a boil on high heat and simmer on low heat for 1 hour; keep the pork belly in the blanching pot and cook for 30 minutes on low heat.
4.
After 30 minutes, the pork belly is fully cooked, and the chopsticks can be pierced through and sliced.
5.
I used sauerkraut bought from the supermarket, and poured it with water a few more times (it was not so sour), and dried the sauerkraut before use.
6.
Heat the oil to 80%, add sauerkraut, garlic slices, chopped green onion, shredded ginger, aniseed and stir fry, add 1 spoon of chicken essence, 1 spoon of light soy sauce, and 2 spoons of cooking wine and stir until the sauerkraut is slightly dry.
7.
Add pork belly slices and continue to stir fry.
8.
After stirring evenly, the bone broth in the casserole should be about the same temperature at this time. Add the slightly white bone broth in the casserole and add some hot water. After the high heat is boiled, simmer on low heat for 30 minutes; add before cooking. Appropriate amount of salt, MSG enhances the flavor.
