I liked the villagers to invite my father to hold a wedding banquet, because every time someone else held a wedding banquet, I would definitely invite my father to cook. I can't finish the dishes at the banquet, and my host will bring some bags back to my father. It was really satisfying to see the banquet dishes brought back by my father.
Speaking of the dishes at the banquet, there is a very classic dish, which is fried pork. Fried braised pork is usually met at banquets in Guangdong and Guangxi. Generally speaking, braised pork will be made into dishes such as braised pork with plum vegetables and braised pork with taro.

When I saw the photos of fried pork sent by my father, I remembered that the Spring Festival was coming soon.

Detailed production steps of fried pork:
Step 1: "Boil": Boil pork belly in cold water until it becomes soft.
Choose a good piece of pork belly. It is suggested that when buying pork belly, it is best to go to the vegetable market to buy fresh pork belly. If you use chilled pork belly, it won't smell so good when frying. Generally speaking, meat with five layers of sandwich is a fine product. Good choice of meat, fat and thin taste is good. Scrape off the pork belly skin with a sharp kitchen knife, rinse it clean, put the pork belly in a cold water pot, and then boil the water with high fire. When the water boils, turn to medium heat. Adding ginger slices and white wine can effectively remove the fishy smell. Boil the pork belly for about 30 minutes, then cook the meat until it is soft.
Step 2: "Punching": Punch holes in the cooked pork skin with pine needles.
After the meat is boiled soft, soak the pork belly in cold water for 20 minutes, and then proceed to the next step when the meat is completely cooled or not hot. It is very important to punch holes in the cooked pork skin with a loose needle, which is also a skill that can foam every piece of braised pork. Punch holes in the skin, so that when frying in the pot, the skin with holes will bubble up, which is not only for good looks, but also delicious.
Step 3: "Wrap clothes": Wrap the cooked pork belly with salt evenly.
After piercing the skin, salt can be evenly coated on every corner of the pork belly, which can make the braised pork more tasty. If you don't add salt, the smell of braised pork will be heavier. Adding salt can not only remove the fishy smell, but also make braised pork delicious.
Step 4: "Fry": Put the pork belly in the oil pan and fry until golden brown.
Pork cannot be fried directly! After the above three steps, the last step is to fry the pork belly in the oil pan. When frying pork, it is best to fry the skin first, and it is best to fry the skin at that end before frying other places. However, if there is a lot of oil in the oil pan and the amount of oil can cover the braised pork, there is no need to fry that part first.
After the braised pork is fried to golden brown, you can take out the oil control and fry it again, which will make the taste more crisp. How to judge whether braised pork is cooked? You can beat the pork with chopsticks in the spatula. If you hear that pork can float, it proves that pork is fried. Remove the fried pork belly and control the oil, and the pork belly with golden color and crisp aroma will be ready.
When cooking with braised pork, soak the braised pork in water for about 12 hours in advance, and then cut it into pieces. Whether it's braised pork with plum vegetables, braised pork with taro or braised dried bamboo shoots, it's delicious on earth!
