Teriyaki Pork Belly Tofu in Clay Pot
1.
Wash the pork belly and cut into large pieces.
2.
After the pig five-flower is selected, the five-flower is fine. Don't be too skinny. If you are too skinny, it will be more firewood.
3.
Prepare a pot of water and add pork belly cubes.
4.
Add sliced ginger, star anise and green onion.
5.
Cover the pot and cook on high heat. When the water boils, turn to medium and low heat and continue to cook for 15 minutes.
6.
Turn off the heat and filter out the ingredients and foam.
7.
Prepare 2 sheets of kitchen paper and place the cooked pork belly on top.
8.
Take another one and cover it to absorb water.
9.
After absorbing water, put it on a plate for later use.
10.
The side dishes for the pot are prepared according to personal preference.
11.
Add a little oil to the casserole.
12.
Add onion and sauté until fragrant.
13.
Add carrot slices and fry.
14.
Add pig five flowers.
15.
Pour in the teriyaki sauce, you can buy the teriyaki sauce ready-made, or you can match it yourself. I will not repeat the specific combination that I have introduced many times before.
16.
Adding the side dishes, my mother's favorite small balls, some potatoes, rapeseed are delicious, but my casserole is a bit small and doesn't add so much.
17.
Stir evenly.
18.
Cover and simmer for 5-10 minutes.
19.
Sprinkle some chopped green onion, and you can actually cook it.
20.
But if you don’t put green vegetables, you may be greasy. Add some Japanese tofu to neutralize the greasiness. Of course, you can also put brine tofu, but it is best to add brine tofu earlier.
21.
After adding the tofu, cover and simmer for 5 minutes to complete. A simple family clay pot is ok, with a bowl of rice, there is no one else.
