step

1. First soak the elbow bought in warm water for half an hour, scrape off the dirt on the epidermis, remove the pig hair, and then clean it. This process should be repeated several times.

2. Take a cooking pot, put a few slices of ginger, stew half a pot of water, then put the elbow in, boil the dirty foam, pour out the water, clean the elbow and control the water purification.

3. Put a layer of soy sauce on the skin of elbow, dry it, and then tie some small holes to facilitate the taste and prevent the skin from shrinking.

4. Take a wok, pour some oil (about 25g) and heat it, and fry the skin of elbow until it turns bright red.

Note: this is a fuel-saving method, which is not as good as frying.

5. Then put some rock sugar and turn on a small fire to melt it slowly. Note: Rock sugar is best broken, so it melts quickly and is not easy to burn.

6. When the rock sugar melts, let the elbows be colored with sugar, add less soy sauce, and put sauce on the elbows. Note: If all colors are made of caramel, the amount of sugar should be increased.

7. Add water and spices (Lentinus edodes 10, ginger15g, 2 onions, 2 star anise, a small piece of cinnamon, 5 hawthorn slices, 2 red dates, and appropriate amount of salt) and boil, then switch to a pressure cooker for stewing. Note: Don't use too much water here, because the pressure cooker doesn't lose water.

8. Pressurize for 20-30 minutes, decompress, turn over and pressurize for 15-20 minutes, and finally the stewed elbow can be gently poked with chopsticks.

Note: Turn the noodles once in the middle to stew evenly and thoroughly.

9. Filter and boil the soup, and add the thin starch sauce. Here, you should pour the sauce while stirring, and stop pouring the sauce when it is slightly thick.

Note: You can cook the soup thick without simmering.

10. Finally, you can scald half a piece of broccoli, eat it with the rock candy elbow, and also serve as a dish decoration for the rock candy elbow.

Note: You can also use other vegetables.

1 1. Pour the juice, set the plate and serve.
