A practice,
2-3 knots of lotus root, half a catty of pork with fat (put more weight according to your own preference, or other meat is ok)
Prepare seasoning:
0/00g of dried red pepper/kloc-,1 piece of ginger, 3-4 pieces of star anise, a little clove, 2 pieces of cinnamon, a little dried tangerine peel, 3-4 pieces of nutmeg, a handful of pepper, salt, soy sauce, sugar and pepper.
Production process:
1, wash the meat, peel the lotus root, wash all spices (star anise, clove, cinnamon, dried tangerine peel, nutmeg and pepper), put them in a seasoning bag (you can wrap the spices with gauze and tie them up), cut the dried red pepper into sections, and pat the ginger loosely for later use;
2. Fill the casserole with water, put the seasoning bag, pepper segments and ginger pieces that have been beaten loosely in it, add the soy sauce, put the soy sauce into the mixture and the soup will be sauce red, and boil;
3. After the fire boils, skim off the floating foam in the soup, and continue to cook on medium heat. When the meat and spices float, put the whole lotus root section into the pot and continue to cook;
4. At this time, wear the meat with chopsticks. If you can easily wear it, you can add salt, sugar and pepper to the pot to taste it. The taste of the soup should be slightly salty than the salt you are used to;
5. If you like a more spicy taste, you can remove the pepper segments from the pot, mash them with a mortar to give a red oil, and then pour them into the pot to continue cooking;
6. Cook until the lotus root is even purplish red, which can be easily pierced with chopsticks, and then turn off the fire;
7. Soak the lotus root slices in the marinated soup until it gets cold. Pick up the slices and eat them. If you like the extra spicy taste, you can add spicy oil to taste.
Second, pay attention to the operation tips:
1, the water used to boil the brine soup should be given at one time, and no more can be added in the middle to avoid the thin taste of the brine soup;
2. When the meat in the pot is cooked until it is soft and rotten, you can pick it up first, so as not to cook it too badly. If you are worried that there is not enough oil in the meat, you can add some cooking oil or add some pigskin to marinate it together. When you buy meat at home, don't throw it away. Put it in the pot together at this time, not only can it help to increase the oily taste of the marinated lotus root, but also the marinated pork skin is very delicious.
3. By-products from the production of braised lotus root, such as braised pork and braised pork skin, can be used to make cold dishes or stir-fry other dishes.
4. The prepared brine should be packed in a sealed container, put in the refrigerator after cooling, and can be reused. However, if you add halogen dishes, remember to add some meat to cook together regularly.
