Meizhou, a thousand-year-old city, is known as the "guest capital". People from the Central Plains "dressed up" moved here, which not only brought the atmosphere of top-grade study, but also formed their own Hakka food culture. Fry the matchbox-sized tofu into golden brown, put the stuffing made of pork and fish in it, add chopped green onion and sesame oil, and simmer in the chicken soup casserole until the aroma is overflowing. I think the Hakka people who came to Meizhou didn't have a pack of jiaozi for some time before they made such delicious food. Braised pork with plum vegetables is famous for its fat. If you are on a diet to lose weight, this dish is not for you. Generally, people who taste this dish for the first time will stop eating chopsticks because of its fatness. However, when you boldly chew a piece and your mouth is full of oil, you will think that it is definitely not as fat as braised pork. Plum vegetables absorb oil, pork belly will bring the fragrance of plum vegetables, and the combination of plum vegetables and fat pork belly can really be said to be delicious (Hakka dialect). 1, a large piece of pork belly with skin, boil water, put it in and cook until it can be inserted with chopsticks, and take it out. Make a small hole in the skin surface with a fork. The denser the holes, the better, so that the fried skin will be fluffy. Rub some soy sauce on the skin while it is hot. 2, put a lot of oil in the oil, burn it to 70% to 80% heat (the smoke on the oil surface spreads around and the oil surface is calm), and put the whole piece of meat into the pot and fry it. It is best to cover it with a pot cover to avoid oil leakage and burns. Turn off the heat, fry the skin, remove and drain the oil. 3. Soak the whole meat skin in water until the skin becomes soft, take it out and drain it. 4. Cut the fried meat into pieces, each piece is about 0.8 cm thick, with the skin facing down and arranged in a bowl. 5. Wash the plum vegetables, wash the sand and chop them up. Heat the wok, stir-fry dried plum vegetables in a white pot (that is, without oil), and serve. 6, take a small bowl, put two pieces of milk, sugar, soy sauce, soy sauce, rice wine, star anise powder, salt, etc. Mix well with a little water, adjust the taste according to your own taste, put oil in the pot, heat it, saute garlic, stir-fry plum vegetables, pour the juice into a bowl and boil it. After cooking, pour the meat into a bowl and steam the bowl in a pressure cooker for about half an hour until the meat is soft and can be taken out. 7. Buckle a dish on the bowl, turn it upside down, pour the juice out of the bowl, scald some dishes around the edge, and take out the bowl. Add some chicken essence, sesame oil and water starch and pour it on the braised pork. You're done! note:
1, when seasoning, you can also add a pepper or sour plum (sweet plum is also ok) to the juice, which is a bit sour and spicy to stimulate the appetite.
2. It is more delicious to buckle the meat and eat it every meal. The plum vegetables at the bottom are soaked in oil juice, the greasy taste is absorbed, and the rice porridge is very appetizing. 5. Hakka brine chicken brine chicken is a famous dish commonly used in Hakka banquets. Using tender chicken as raw material, the chicken is slaughtered, eviscerated, washed and dried without cutting into pieces. Then wrap the whole chicken in toilet paper and simmer it in parched salt.
