Tips: Features of braised pork: bright red color, fragrant flavor, soft and smooth, fat but not greasy.
Tips: 1. When making braised pork, the meat pieces should not be too small when cutting, because after the finished product, the meat pieces will shrink nearly double, so the size of the meat pieces must be controlled when cutting.
2. When water-tightening the meat to remove the odor, put it in the pot under cold water. When stewing, use boiling water. If you master this method, the cooked meat will be very fragrant. Otherwise, the texture and taste will not be good.
3. You can add salt or not. Salt is used for taste. If it feels too sweet, you can add less salt. Some soy sauce is very salty, so there is no need to add more salt.
The finished product tastes suitable if it is salty and slightly sweet, but neither too sweet nor too salty is good.
