Southerners' research on food is hidden in dried plums.
If you were born in Huizhou, Lingnan, Mei Cai is a well-known pickled side dish, and everyone has memories of home after eating it.
For Jiangsu and Zhejiang people, this "plum dish" is not another "plum dish". Every household has a dried mushroom, which is made from dried sherry red and is an essential seasoning ingredient for stew.
What I want to recommend to you today is the braised pork with dried plum vegetables as a necessary home-cooked dish for the New Year.
Because of its refreshing taste, it is very suitable for matching with fatty meat, and pork belly naturally becomes its golden partner. The combination of the mellow gravy and the faint scent of plum vegetables is the taste of my childhood Spring Festival.
of course, this dish is very particular.
In the choice of ingredients, pork belly should be made of square meat with distinct layers, one thin layer and one fat layer, which are evenly distributed, so you don't have to worry about the different taste of the meat when making it.
In the production method, the dried moldy vegetables should be soaked in advance to absorb enough water; The pork belly is blanched first and then oiled, and the skin is fragrant and tender, and the finally steamed gravy will be mellow.
in the choice of seasoning, this time we chose the combination of maotai sauce and sweet noodle sauce. The fragrant and attractive maotai flavor is perfectly blended with pork belly, and the gravy is full and chewy, plus the mixed sweetness of sweet noodle sauce and plum vegetables, which is extremely delicious.
In addition, more than 2 kinds of plant spices in the sauce will help you to remove the flavor and enhance the fragrance easily. Just pour it in, and all the delicious things will appear naturally.
I'll teach you a trick to make braised pork with plum vegetables immediately:
1 Put the pork belly into the pot, add water and onion and ginger for 3 minutes, and then take it out.
2 the pork belly is covered with sweet noodle sauce, and the pigskin is covered with hot oil and fried for 1 minute.
3 pork belly is cut into 5 mm long pieces, and the roots are not cut off.
4 spread the sliced meat with 2g sauce, and stir-fry the dried fragrant plum with 1g sauce.
5 cover dried prunes with the skin down, steam in the pan for about 2 hours, and take out the pan and turn it upside down.
After several processes, the sweet and fragrant braised pork with plum vegetables is full of fragrance, and the fragrance of plum vegetables is fully integrated with the meat flavor of pork belly. Each piece of meat is dipped in a rich sauce, sweet, delicious and salty, with endless aftertaste.
