The secret of fried pork belly
First, marinate first and then fry.
When frying pork belly or fat sausage, the easiest way to master is to marinate before frying, that is, marinate with spices before frying. Marinating can remove the toughness of pork belly and fat sausage, and at the same time, it can make pork belly and fat sausage taste in advance.
Don't add salt when marinating pork tripe and fat sausage, because pork tripe and fat sausage contract easily when they meet salt and will soon become as tough as rubber bands.
In addition, don't marinate too much, just to be easily penetrated by chopsticks. After the marinade is taken out and cooled, it can be used for cooking.
Second, blanch first and then fry.
Blanching water is also a common method for frying pork belly or large intestine. This method is a little more difficult than marinating first and then frying. The key is to master the time and temperature of blanching.
1. First cut the washed pig's belly or pig's large intestine into 3cm long segments, and be careful not to cut it into too small segments, because the pig's belly or pig's large intestine will shrink and become smaller after being heated, which is neither attractive nor delicious.
2. Add enough water to the pot and burn bubbles the size of shrimp eyes. At this time, the temperature is about 85 to 90 degrees. Hot water at this temperature is commonly called shrimp eye water, which is the best time to enter the pig's stomach or large intestine.
3. After the pig's belly or pig's large intestine is put into the pot, it should be closely observed. When the pig's stomach or large intestine is found to be slightly hardened, it should be taken out immediately and put into cold water for rapid cooling. When it's cold, take it out and control the water to cook.
It is also forbidden to add salt when the pig's belly or large intestine is drowned. For the same reason. Others like to steam the cut pork belly or large intestine in a steamer. It is said that the steam is better. I've never tried it. Friends who like diy may wish to have a try.
