Do you want to blanch pork belly?
According to food experts, pork belly needs to be blanched. Usually, we will boil pork belly with boiling water, so that the pork belly will be more sweet.
How to blanch pork belly?
Food experts introduced that pork belly should be boiled in a cold water pot. The method is to put cold water and pork belly into the pot to cook, but the time should not be too long, as long as the meat is white.
In addition, ginger can be added to the water during the cooking process, which can effectively remove the odor such as blood and fishy smell.
The practice of home-cooked braised pork
Ingredients: 500g pork belly.
Seasoning: 2g salt, 3 shallots, soy sauce 1 spoon, 5 pieces of dried hawthorn, and appropriate amount of brown sugar.
Practice:
1. Separate the scallion, onion and green, cut the scallion into sections, and cut the scallion and green into powder; Brown sugar is chopped into small pieces with a knife.
2. Pour a proper amount of boiling water into the pot, add pork belly and scallion, blanch for 5 minutes, pick it up and wash the pot.
3. Pour the blanched and drained pork belly into a clean pot and fry it on low heat (without oil).
4. Fry until the surface of the meat is a little brown (don't fry it too much, because it will continue to be fried later), and when some oil oozes, add brown sugar blocks and stir fry evenly on low heat. (If you use a lot of pork belly fat and produce a lot of oil, in order to avoid greasy, you can take some oil out and use it for cooking.).
5. Stir-fry slowly until the sugar melts, and stir-fry constantly, one is to avoid the sugar sticking to the pot, and the other is to wrap the sugar juice on the meat.
6. Pour in a proper amount of boiling water, as long as the water does not exceed the meat. Add hawthorn slices and cook for about 25 minutes.
7.25 minutes later, turn to medium heat (high fire can be used for quick action), add 1 spoon of soy sauce, appropriate amount of salt, and keep stirring-the last step of "collecting juice" is very important, so you must not go away, and keep stirring so that the soup is wrapped on each piece of meat.
8. Finally, sprinkle with chopped green onion.
How to choose pork belly
Don't buy it if it's not good in bulk. We can't clearly see the production date, shelf life, etc. of the food from the bulk food, and we can't judge how long the frozen food has been stored and whether it has exceeded the consumption period.
Don't buy those that stick together. Frozen foods that stick together may have been softened and stuck together because of the temperature rising, and bacteria may multiply at room temperature.
Don't buy too many ice crystals in the packaging bag. More ice crystals indicate that frozen foods have been thawed, and the increase in temperature is also likely to lead to an increase in bacterial reproduction.
Don't buy those placed on the outer layer of the freezer. Putting the production date farther on the upper floor is a means for merchants to extrapolate products, so it is necessary to see the production date clearly. Moreover, in order to facilitate consumers to get goods, many freezers are open, and the upper air convection temperature is higher.
