Method:
In fact, the method of making this sugar steamed pork is relatively simple. The ingredients it requires include pork, rice noodles, etc. Of course, ingredients are also essential in the preparation of this dish. First we need to wash the pork, then cut them into long pieces about six centimeters long and 1.5 centimeters wide. After cutting, we put them in a bowl. Be sure to drain the moisture from the pork belly before placing it in a bowl. After that, we fry the indica rice noodles in a pan. After it is cooked, we set it aside for later use.
Add some salt water to the pork, be sure to add a small amount, especially a small amount. In addition to this, we also need to add different ingredients such as soy sauce, rice wine, sugared osmanthus, chopped green onion, brown sugar, etc., and let them be fully stirred together to marinate the pork. Then we put the brown sugar and water in another bowl and let it melt into sugar water. After the meat pieces are marinated, we can neatly stack them in a bowl, put them in a cage and steam them over high heat, and then they can be taken out of the cage in about an hour. After the meat comes out of the cage, we need to loosen the surroundings of the meat, pour the melted brown sugar water in, and continue steaming for about an hour.
When we smell the aroma of meat, it means that the meat is almost cooked. At this time, we can also take it out of the cage, and then turn the bowl over on the plate. This dish is truly completed. . But during the steaming process, we must pay attention to the fact that the fire must be strong, the water must be boiling, and the steam must be sufficient. The sugar-steamed pork made in this way will be fragrant and red in color, which will make us very appetizing at first glance. Otherwise, the dishes it makes will be very imperfect, whether in terms of taste or color, and may even be a little unsatisfactory.
