Hey friends! The delicacy we are going to talk about today is a frequent guest on our Chinese table - braised pork. The dish is bright red, fat but not greasy, melts in your mouth, and the aroma can fill the room. Whether it's a family dinner or a festive feast, with it, the atmosphere is absolutely lively!
Let's start with the materials. To make braised pork, you have to prepare 500 grams of pork belly (choose the kind of fat and thin, which is particularly fragrant), an appropriate amount of dark soy sauce and light soy sauce, and then add some caster sugar, ginger slices, green onions, cooking wine, star anise, bay leaves, and other spices. Oh, and by the way, don't forget the all-important water, which is about 500 ml.
Now let's get started!
1⃣️ First of all, cut the pork belly into pieces, don't be too small, otherwise it will be gone after cooking.
2⃣️Put oil in the pot, a little more, pour the sugar into it and fry it slowly over low heat, and wait until it turns golden brown sugar color, this is the soul of braised pork.
3⃣️Put the pork belly pieces in and stir-fry, so that each piece is coated with sugar, so that the color is uniform and beautiful.
4⃣️At this time, you can add ginger slices, green onions and cooking wine to remove the fishy smell.
5⃣️ Then pour in the dark soy sauce to color, add light soy sauce to taste, and then add water, the amount of water is probably less than the meat pieces.
6⃣️Finally, throw in a few star anise and bay leaves, cover the pot, bring to a boil over high heat, turn to low heat and simmer slowly.
When it comes to simmering time, this one is a good idea. If you are in a hurry to burn it, the meat will be hard and unpalatable. Simmer over low heat, about 45 minutes to 1 hour, so that the meat is cooked and the soup is thick. Remember to flip it a few times during this time to prevent the pieces of meat from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
When you smell the rich aroma and see that the juice is getting thicker and thicker, it's almost ready to come out of the pan. Taste the taste before serving, and if it is light, you can add a little salt to adjust it.
When you taste braised pork, you will find that its charm lies in the mix of sweet, salty and meaty flavors. Fat but not greasy, the lean part is full of soup, and it tastes tender and delicious. If you pair it with a bowl of white rice, it's definitely delicious!
