The practice of braised pork pot with water, then light the fire, the fire should be turned on to the maximum, the water and then put the wine, and put half a tablespoon of vinegar. Put vinegar can make the meat puffy, easier to burn crispy; my good mother-in-law put dried hawthorn, the effect is better, more flavor, just not easy to get.
After about five or six minutes, the water comes to a boil and continues to cook for another five or six minutes. As the meat tumbles, a layer of black and red impurities floats on the surface of the water, a layer of cooked blood that Shanghainese call "enamel". This is a unique word in Shanghainese, and no one knows how to write it, only that it should be pronounced "伐". To remove these impurities, there is a specific word in Shanghainese called "pai enamel", which means to use a spoon to trap the impurities. "It's not easy to remove the impurities, as they will stick to the spoon. You need to prepare a small bowl of cold water beforehand, and every time you trap it, you dip the spoon into the cold water to wash it. "It takes several passes to get rid of the enamel, and you'll need to remove any that sticks to the sides of the pot.
Rolling with a large fire about half an hour, you can switch to a small fire, the size of the fire to the surface of the water does not boil prevail, called "warm". Warm it, to warm at least one hour, warm the longer, the more delicious. The longer you warm it up, the better it will taste. Braised pork should not be burned in a hurry, but should be slowed down. You have to look at it from time to time, be careful of the soup was burned dry, of course, the soup burned dry is not necessarily a bad thing. In the past, Taicang City, South Street, a chef called Ni De, is because he did not master the fire, the braised meat burned soup dry, fat and thin separation, the result is the accidental invention of Taicang meat floss.
The meat should be cooked so that it can be poked and prodded with chopsticks, and then transferred to an iron wok with the lid on. At this point, you have to put the soy sauce, soy sauce put too early, the meat is stained with salt will not burn crispy, put too late, only the outer layer of the meat is stained with color, can not be tasted. The fire, than just "warm" when a little bigger, but do not need to open a great, because now the meat is rotten, the fire is too big, will cook the meat broken.
The soy sauce should be dark but not too salty, the Cantonese cuisine in the old soy sauce and soy sauce, the old soy sauce is actually put caramel, we want this kind of; soy sauce, the color is light and salty, can not be used. The most important thing is that you can use Shanghai soy sauce, which is called "Hai-O Extra Thick Soy Sauce", and it's good.
Such, and then cook for half an hour, the water in the pot is almost, at this time, we have to put sugar. Sugar, to dare to put, to be willing to put. The amount of sugar, about a catty meat one or two sugar, sugar is best used crystal sugar, crystal sugar sweetness, taste pure, transparency is also high, is the key to burning this dish. Ice sugar block large, to be cracked beforehand.
Put sugar, the fire should be turned on, put sugar, soup will slowly thick up, you can gently turn the meat, if you are afraid of their own level is not good, worried about the meat turned broken bad, you can use a spoon will be trapped in the soup up, and then pour down. After the sugar is put in, the soup can soon be collected and dried, so do not leave, if the aroma is really tempting, you can dip a little soup first to relieve the appetite. Wait until the soup becomes more thick, there is a bright oil flood up, this dish is ready, soup do not need to burn too dry, braised pork soup with rice, is the world's best.
This is the authentic Soviet-style braised pork, in addition to wine, vinegar, soy sauce and sugar, no other seasonings, is the original flavor. Some restaurants, the first deep-fried, then add ginger, add fennel, add soy sauce fried, and then add sugar, and then putty with starch, sprinkled with green onions even if it is good. This kind of braised meat, fifteen minutes can be done, but eat a piece of appetite, really a big shame braised meat face; and, this kind of braised meat will eat you dry mouth, gastrointestinal discomfort; I advise you not to try.

Braised pork practice (3)
Buy meat must buy skinned pork, fat, lean meat basically half and half, must be with pork skin, or simply do not do.
Meat washed and cut into squares, 2 cm square, do not blanch, directly take the pot to pour the right amount of oil (I use peanut oil), when the oil is hot, put the meat into the pot, fry! Frying this process is essential, one is the fat in the lard * out, eat up not greasy, the second is to increase the flavor of the meat (personal experience ............ fire do not be too fierce), fried to the appearance of meat some golden, cease fire, meat out, oil pouring out.
Another pot, pour the right amount of oil, into the onion, ginger, pepper stir fry, special reminder, to put the garlic, a little pat, peel, do not have to cut, the whole into the portion of at least one head, stir fry until the flavor, and then it is very important - do not forget to put the sugar! Icing sugar is best, white sugar is fine, at least 1 tablespoon, (I put 2 spoons,) do not be afraid to put too much, the meat is like sugar. Then pour in the soy sauce, not too much. You have to be quick, otherwise the sugar will be mushy.
After simmering the juice, pour in the fried meat, stir-fry a little, pour in the water (bone broth would be great, but I don't have the time to simmer it), and then - on the pressure cooker! (If you have time, or do not have a pressure cooker, then slowly simmer, at least an hour, the more rotten the better, do not forget to add water during the period). Pressure cooker water to slightly more than the meat can be, add salt, add ingredients, high heat to boil, cover and simmer for 25 minutes, cease fire and natural cooling, no pressure to open the lid, and then open fire to collect the juice, the juice is thick, add a little bit of monosodium glutamate, cease fire out of the pot, fragrant.

Frying pan with a little oil, under the sugar, fried sugar color.

With personal preference you can also put some dried chili pepper into the fried together, the color can be bright, the taste will be richer
On the color, you can add water, and then wait for the water to boil ~ ~ ~ ~
Water boiled, will be put on the fire small stew on it! (My personal experience is two hours)
When there is not much water left, put salt, and reduce the juice over high heat.
