Dish name: Pork belly and quail eggs stewed

Ingredients: pork belly, quail eggs, cooking wine, rock sugar, green onions, etc.

Preparation steps

1. The first thing is to prepare all the ingredients, select fresh pork belly, wash it and cut it into slices and put it in a bowl. The quail eggs must be cooked in a pot first. After they are cooked, they should be taken out and put in cold water immediately. This will make it easier to peel the eggs. The eggs after peeling are set aside.

2. The quail eggs need to be fried after shelling. Try to drain them in advance, otherwise oil will easily splash during frying. Add an appropriate amount of oil to the pot, and when it is hot, put the drained quail eggs in and fry them over low heat. Finally, fry them into tiger-skinned eggs. You can cover them and fry them to prevent oil splashing.

3. The quail eggs should be fried until the skin is golden brown and wrinkled. At this time, you can turn off the heat and take out the eggs first and set aside.

4. Don’t pour away the remaining oil in the pot. Add star anise, cinnamon and other spices and stir-fry until fragrant. After the ingredients are stir-fried, add the sliced ??pork belly and stir-fry.

5. Stir-fry the pork belly meat oil over low heat. The heat must be controlled here. Finally, stir-fry until the surface of the pork belly is golden brown.

Then move the stir-fried pork belly to one side of the pot, put the prepared rock sugar in and stir-fry until the sugar color turns out.

6. When frying the sugar, use low heat. After the rock sugar melts, stir-fry with the pork belly so that the meat slices can be colored with sugar and look very attractive.

7. Start adding seasonings at this time. Add an appropriate amount of dried chili peppers, garlic cloves and ginger slices according to your own taste. You also need to add some cooking wine to remove the smell.

8. Pour in an appropriate amount of boiling water to cover the meat, add green onions, dark soy sauce and salt, cover and simmer over low heat. When the soup is almost dry, add the quail eggs and continue to simmer until the eggs are colored and flavorful to collect the juice. Just sprinkle a little chicken essence before taking it out of the pot. It will make your mouth water just looking at it.

Cooking Tips

1. When stewing meat, remember to add boiling water, not cold water, otherwise the taste will be affected.

2. Rock sugar is used here to fry the sugar color. If rock sugar is not available, white sugar can be used instead.

3. All ingredients must be purchased fresh, so that they are more nutritious and taste better.

4. Put the quail eggs in cold water immediately after they are cooked, so that it is easier to peel off the eggshells.
