Braised pork is a classic Chinese dish that is loved by people for its mellow taste and unique aroma. Although the recipe varies slightly from place to place, the home-cooked version of braised pork has become a delicacy on many people's tables due to its simple and delicious characteristics. Below, let's introduce the home-cooked method of braised pork.
First of all, we need to prepare the following ingredients: 500 grams of pork belly, 3 slices of ginger, 1 green onion, 2 star anise, an appropriate amount of cinnamon, an appropriate amount of cooking wine, an appropriate amount of salt, an appropriate amount of dark soy sauce, an appropriate amount of light soy sauce, 50 grams of brown sugar, and an appropriate amount of water.
Here are the steps to make it:
1. Cut the pork belly into pieces, blanch the blood with boiling water, drain and set aside.
2. Heat the pan with cold oil, add brown sugar, slowly boil over low heat, boil until red, add the pork belly pieces, stir-fry evenly, so that the surface of the meat pieces is covered with brown sugar.
3. Add sliced ginger, green onions, star anise and cinnamon, and continue to stir-fry until fragrant.
4. Pour in the cooking wine, stir-fry evenly over high heat, then add dark soy sauce, light soy sauce and salt, and stir-fry again.
5. Add enough water, cover the surface of the meat, cover and simmer over low heat. This process requires patience, and the longer the stew, the better the taste of the braised pork.
6. Simmer until the soup is thick and the meat is soft and ready to serve.
