As a traditional Chinese delicacy, button meat is deeply loved by people. Not only is it delicious, but it's also packed with nutrients, making it a great choice for a home-cooked meal. So, how can you make a delicious dish of buttoned meat? Next, let me share with you how to make buttoned meat.
First of all, we need to prepare the ingredients. The main ingredient of button meat is pork, and it is best to choose pork belly because it is fat and lean, and the taste is better. In addition, you also need to prepare some seasonings, including green onions, ginger and garlic, cooking wine, salt, sugar, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, five-spice powder, star anise, cinnamon, etc.
Next, let's start making the button meat. First of all, wash the pork belly, put it in a pot, add green onions, ginger and cooking wine, cook until it is seven or eight ripe, take it out and let it cool. Then, cut the pork belly into thin slices and marinate it for a while with seasonings such as salt, sugar, five-spice powder, soy sauce, etc., to allow the meat slices to absorb the flavor.
Next, we started to stir-fry the sauce for the buttoned meat. Heat the pot, add an appropriate amount of oil, add green onions, ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, add star anise, cinnamon and other seasonings and stir-fry until fragrant, then add an appropriate amount of water, add sugar, salt, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce and other seasonings, turn to low heat and slowly boil after boiling.
When the seasoning is thick, put the marinated meat slices into the pan and stir-fry evenly to allow the meat slices to fully absorb the flavor of the seasoning. Then, put the fried meat slices in a bowl, pour the remaining seasoning into the bowl, cover the bowl, and put it in the steamer to steam for a period of time, so that the meat slices are more flavorful and the taste is more tender.
Finally, take out the steamed button meat, put it upside down on the plate, pour the soup in the bowl into the plate, sprinkle some chopped green onions and coriander, and a delicious button meat is ready.
Although it is a bit tedious to make the meat, as long as you master the right method, you can make a delicious and nutritious dish. In addition to the traditional method of buttoning meat, we can also add some other seasonings and ingredients according to our own tastes and preferences to make different flavors of buttoned meat, such as spicy buttoned meat, sauce-flavored buttoned meat, etc.
In addition to the deliciousness of the button meat itself, we can also combine the button meat with other ingredients to make a richer dish. For example, you can match button meat with tofu, mushrooms and other vegetables to make dishes such as stewed tofu with button meat and fried mushrooms with button meat, which not only have a richer taste, but also have higher nutritional value.
In addition, the button meat is also a good side dish. Eating the pork with rice not only makes the rice more delicious, but also increases the feeling of fullness and makes people more satisfied.
In short, as a traditional Chinese delicacy, Button Pork not only has a long history and cultural heritage, but also has a delicious taste and rich nutrition, which is a rare delicacy.
