Bacon, in the eyes of every China person, is no stranger, and there are many ways to make bacon, each of which can make people memorable. But for me, bacon is not only the food on the table, but also the medium to bear and entrust my feelings. One end is in my hometown where smoke is rising slowly, and the other end is in the bustling city. Today, I bring this deep friendship to my friends to send bacon to my hometown.
Required ingredients
Ingredients: pork
Accessories: refined salt, star anise, pepper and fennel.
Steps of bacon practice
Step 1: Add star anise in a hot pot, stir-fry with low fire until fragrant, then add pepper, stir-fry with low fire, stir-fry with fennel, and stir-fry slowly with low fire until crisp.
Step 2: Pour the crispy spices into a stone rammer and pound them into powder, the finer the better, and put them in a bowl for later use.
Step 3: Pour a proper amount of refined salt into a dry hot pot and stir-fry it slowly with low fire. When the salt is hot, pour in the spices that have been mashed into powder, stir-fry them evenly with the salt, and pour them into a plate for later use.
Step 4: Spread the fried spice powder evenly on the fresh pork, covering every part of the pork, otherwise the meat will go bad easily.
Step 5: Put the spiced pork in another bucket, cover it, and marinate it for 7 days. During the marinating process, turn the upper and lower meat over to make the meat taste more uniform, and don't pour out the blood oozing from the bottom when turning it over.
Step 6: Make a hole in one end of the marinated meat with scissors, fasten it with a rope, put it in the air or directly expose it to the sun, and air it until the meat can be horizontal and straight without falling.
Step 7: ignite the fire with hay, put the dried meat on the shelf, cover the meat with cardboard, and let the smoke run on it. When smoking, there should be no open flame. When smoking, add sugar cane peel, orange peel and rice bran, so that the smoked meat will be more fragrant. Smoke for about 3-5 hours until the meat is golden, and you're done.
Although the process of making bacon takes a long time and the steps are complicated, the meat can be stored in a cool and dry place for a long time, and it is fragrant and delicious. Burn the pigskin with fire, scrape it clean with a knife, and cook the meat can eat it. My friends are familiar with bacon in detail, and how to eat and cook it also has their own flavors. If you are far away from your hometown and want to taste the taste of your hometown, you might as well move on.
