Recently, pork has been cheap, I can't help but want to buy, just at home and have nothing to do, just think about what to eat all day. Although the braised pork is delicious, I am really tired of eating it during this time, and I want to taste it in a different way. Tamales are a great choice, and I've eaten it once at a friend's house and fell in love with it from the first bite.
Just yesterday I bought an old pumpkin and prepared to take the pumpkin and pork belly to make a tamales to eat, and the taste was already drooling just thinking about it. The taste of tamales, if you haven't eaten them, is certainly unimaginable. Fat but not greasy, powdery and oily, eat a bite is particularly fragrant.
Especially recently, the weather has been cold, and it is snowing on our side, and eating a meal of tamales is really too much fun. While relieving hunger, it can also supplement nutrition and nourish the body. But to make tamales, if you are not careful, it is easy to step on the thunder, then if you want to be tender and oily, fat and not greasy, we do not directly on the pot steaming, but also remember 2 tips.
Ingredients required: pork belly, old pumpkin, steamed rice noodles, green onion ginger, eggs, salt, pepper, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce
1, the pork belly is prepared, and then cut into slices, if you carry the skin, we also need to put the pork skin in a dry pot and blanch it until we smell the burnt smell, take it out, wash it and then slice it.
2: After the slices, we put it into a bowl, then beat 2 eggs, grab it and mix well. Then add the appropriate amount of shallot ginger, salt, pepper, soy sauce, oyster sauce, soy sauce, grasp it well and marinate for a period of time. Pork belly should not be steamed directly on the pot, and should be marinated in advance.
3, pickling this time, we will deal with the old pumpkin again, wash and then directly cut the block, placed at the bottom of the bowl. Let's prepare steamed meat rice noodles, if you buy it in the supermarket, you must buy moderate particles, not too coarse or too fine.
4, if you do it yourself at home, we wash the rice and drain the water, then put it in the pot and fry, fry until it turns slightly yellow, put it into the blender and break it, or that sentence, the particles are moderate, not too broken and not very rough. This grain is moderate, and it is more delicious to eat.
5: After the pork belly is marinated, pick out the onion and ginger and throw it away, pour the rice noodles into it, grasp it thoroughly, and then evenly place it in the bowl containing the pumpkin. Put the bowl in the pot and start steaming, bring to a boil on high heat and continue steaming for another 1 hour, turn off the heat and take it out and eat.
Notes:
Tamales do not steam directly, or have to remember 2 tips, the first is the curing of pork belly, can remove the fishy taste, but also make the pork belly more tender and more flavorful, the second is rice noodles, must be moderate in thickness, uniform, not too rough, not too delicate.
