Tips:
Turn it over when blanching, so that the dirty things on both sides can be ironed out. The shallots and ginger slices in this dish are used as the base to prevent the meat from sticking to the pot, so the amount needed for cooking will be more than usual. Please remember to prepare a little more. Friends who like to eat heavier meat can cut a cross knife with a half depth on the big piece of meat, so that it can taste better. Friends who want to eat the effect of tiger skin can fry the pork belly with oil before cutting it, and then put it in ice water to cool it, which will form tiger skin. The amount of rock sugar is adjusted according to your own hobbies. Friends who like sweetness can add more, and friends who don't like sweetness can add less or not. When stewing the meat, everyone should first skim off the fat in the soup, so that the Dongpo meat steamed later will not be greasy after adding the soup. Before steaming, a lot of soy sauce was added, so only a little salt was added. Please don't add too much salt. If you have a weak taste, you don't need to add salt. When you code the meat slowly before steaming, don't spoil it, or the finished product won't look good. Finally, when steaming pork belly, you can boil the boiling water in advance, so that the meat pieces can be put into the steaming bowl and steamed directly in the steamer.
