In this day and age, there are more and more types of cuisine and practices, but there are always some seemingly simple and plain ingredients that require a complex cooking process to create a delicious meal. Today, I would like to share with you one such cuisine - braised pork.

Braised pork is a very traditional Chinese dish, which uses pancetta as the main ingredient, and after a long time of slow stewing, the fat and lean meat of the pancetta are blended together to form a tender and juicy texture. Although it looks plain and simple, there are many techniques that need to be mastered during the production process to make a colorful and flavorful braised pork.

First, we need to prepare the following ingredients: pork, ginger, green onions, cooking wine, soy sauce, soy sauce, rock sugar, star anise, sesame leaves, salt, cooking oil. These ingredients may seem ordinary, but they are the key to making braised pork.

Next, let's start making braised pork!

Cut the pork into 2 cm square pieces, and then blanch it in boiling water to remove the blood and fishy flavor. This step is very important because only after blanching the pork can the subsequent stew be more flavorful.

Fish out the blanched pork, rinse it with water, control the water and set aside.

Slice the ginger and cut the scallions into pieces.

In the pot pour in the appropriate amount of cooking oil, heat and add rock sugar slowly stir fry until it becomes red sugar color. This process needs to be very careful, because sugar is very easy to paste the pan, and the color of the sugar color determines the color and taste of the braised pork.

When the sugar turns red, add the pork and stir-fry well to coat each piece of pork with the sugar color. Be careful to stir-fry gently to avoid breaking the pork.

Add the sliced ginger and scallions and stir-fry to coat evenly, then add the cooking wine, soy sauce, soy sauce, star anise, and allspice. Pay attention to the ratio of seasonings in this step, as different ratios will affect the flavor of the braised pork.

Add enough water to cover the pork. Then cover the pot with a lid and simmer slowly over medium-low heat for at least 1 hour or more until the pork becomes tender and flavorful. Check the water level from time to time to avoid drying out.

Finally, season with salt to taste and turn up the heat to reduce the sauce. When the soup becomes thick, turn off the heat and remove from the pot.

Such a seemingly simple braised pork, but need to go through such a complex cooking process to make it. But when you taste that mouthful of soft, flavorful, colorful and aromatic braised pork, you'll realize that all the effort was worth it. This dish is not just a dish of food, but also a kind of emotional support, which reminds us of the taste of our hometown, our mother's caresses and that yearning for a better life.

So, dear friends, try this braised pork! I believe it will bring you unexpected surprise and satisfaction. Let's enjoy the happiness brought by food and feel the beauty of life together!
