Main ingredients: 600g pork belly, 300g chestnut

Seasoning: 3g edible salt, 5g single crystal rock sugar, 1 spoon dark soy sauce, 1 spoon light soy sauce, 2 spoons of rice wine, 1/4 spoon of balsamic vinegar, 3 slices of ginger

Preparation method:

1. Use a knife to scrape the skin of the pork belly several times to remove dirt, and then cut into pieces , rinse clean. Pour water into the pot, put in the washed ginger slices, bring to a boil, put the cut pork belly into the boiling water and blanch all the blood foam. Take out, rinse with hot water, drain and set aside.

2. Pour a small amount of vegetable oil into the wok. When it is 50% hot, pour the pork belly into the wok and stir-fry. Slowly stir-fry the oil. Stir-fry for a while until the meat is fragrant. (The longer this step takes, the better the cooked meat will taste.)

2. Add rice wine and stir-fry for a while. Add dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, and rock sugar in sequence, and stir-fry while adding. After the sauce is fragrant and the meat is evenly colored, stir-fry for a while, add an appropriate amount of water, bring to a boil and turn off the heat for 3 minutes. (Adding dark soy sauce at this step allows the fresh aroma of soy sauce to slowly penetrate into the meat during the subsequent stewing.)

3. Move all the ingredients in the pot to the casserole and add water to the pot. Add a few drops of vinegar and start cooking. After the soup in the pot comes to a boil, turn to medium-low heat and continue simmering. After 30 minutes, pour the chestnut kernels into the casserole and cook together. When all the ingredients in the pot are cooked and the soup is almost cooked, add an appropriate amount of edible salt, stir evenly with a spoon, taste the saltiness, then turn off the heat, scoop out and serve on a plate. You can buy ready-made chestnut kernels, or you can buy shelled chestnuts at home and peel them yourself.

Of course, when peeling chestnut shells yourself, you can’t just peel raw chestnut shells with your hands, as your nails will definitely not be able to bear it.

So, what needs to be done to make chestnuts shell easily one by one?

Use the bottom end of the kitchen knife to lightly chop the chestnuts one by one. If it is a semi-circular chestnut, it is best to chop it in the middle of the arch.

If you have pointed scissors at home, you can also use the scissors to make a cut on the chestnut, or make a cross-shaped slit to break the chestnut skin. Don't be afraid of scratching the flesh, it won't have any impact.

After such treatment, the meat and shell can be easily separated after heating.
