When stewing meat, I like to add some auxiliary ingredients to relieve the greasiness of the meat. Add some other ingredients to combine meat and vegetables to make it more comfortable and nutritious.
So what ingredients should we put in the braised pork? According to the texture of the ingredients when I make braised pork, it tastes best when soaked with potatoes and tofu. Everyone knows that adding potatoes to stewed meat adds flavor and is not greasy. The bean flavor of soaked tofu in water makes this braised pork very fragrant. Let me share the cooking method:
1. We buy three-layered pork belly, shave the skin and wash it, cut it into large pieces and cook it in the pot. When cooking, add some green onions and ginger. slices, Sichuan peppercorns, aniseed, cooking wine. Cook the meat until it can be pierced with chopsticks.
2. Cook the meat and cut it into pieces of the size you like. Prepare: green onions, ginger slices, garlic, aniseed, pepper, bay leaves, white buckwheat, and Sichuan pepper. There is also the most important ingredient, old rice wine.
