Hello everyone, when I went to the street to buy vegetables today, I found that today's meat price, compared to other times, is so cheaper than a few dollars, a pound of pork belly as long as 25, so I can't bear to buy two pounds of pork belly to take home, I haven't eaten meat for a long time, I plan to make a tamales.
For the production of tamales, many people say that the tamales they make are not delicious, if you also want to do this dish, then today follow me to understand how authentic tamales are made, this is a small skill personally taught by a restaurant chef, simple, easy and delicious!
【Tamales】
【Ingredients】Pork belly, salt, cooking oil, minced ginger, minced garlic, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, steamed meat powder, chili noodles
【Methods and steps】
1, first buy home after the pork belly, we must remember to treat it fishy, many people in life are directly on the pork belly to make, no wonder you make the meat is not delicious, because the pork itself is a certain fishy taste, so buy home pork, remember to soak it with water for half an hour, so that its internal bruises are completely soaked, so that the fishy smell in the pork will be removed for most of the time.
2: Soak the pork, wash it, cut the pork into slices and put it in a bowl for later. Then prepare a small piece of ginger, cut it into minced ginger, add it to the pork, prepare a few cloves of garlic, cut it into minced garlic, add it to the pork, and stir well with the pork. (Ginger and garlic can play a good flavoring role)
Then you need to add a spoonful of oyster sauce, a spoonful of soy sauce, two spoonfuls of cooking wine, and then add a little old soy sauce color, and use your hands to mix all the ingredients and pork evenly, marinate the pork for three hours, so that the pork is completely marinated into the flavor, when marinating, the pork can be put into the refrigerator for refrigerated marinating, the effect will be better.
3. After the pork is marinated, we need to add the prepared steamer powder to the pork and stir well with the pork. When making tamales, you can make them yourself, or you can go to the supermarket to buy them, and you can buy a small package of tamales for 5 yuan.
In this step, remember to add the right amount of water to it, so that the water in the pork can be replenished, and the steamed pork will be more tender to eat. In addition, the water also has a role, that is, to make the steamed meat powder better wrapped on the surface of the pork.
4, when you are ready for this step, people like me who like to eat chili peppers will also add the right amount of chili powder to it, if you don't like to eat chili, you can also add the right amount of pepper to it, but remember not to add five-spice powder, five-spice powder added, it is easy to make the tamales taste woody.
Finally, prepare a potato, wash it, cut it into pieces and put it into the bottom of the dish, and then put the prepared tamales on the surface of the potatoes, and then steam it on the pot. Prepare a steamer, bring the water to a boil over high heat, put the prepared tamales into the steamer, cover and steam for an hour, and when the pork is fully steamed, you can eat it.
【Tips】
1, when preparing pork, the marinating of pork can be very important, so that the pork can be flavored in advance, otherwise the steamed tamales will not taste enough.
2, when steaming the tamales, it should be slowly steamed over medium-low heat, do not use high heat, the fire is easy to cause the water in the pork to evaporate too quickly, and the taste is not tender and smooth.
