The secret braised pork recipe is as follows:
Step 1. Prepare other auxiliary materials that need to be cooked.
Step 2. Wash the pork belly and cut into pieces according to the size you like.
Step 3. Put the cut pork belly in cold water, add ginger slices, and pour in an appropriate amount of cooking wine. Bring to a boil over high heat, blanch it, and skim off the foam. Remove, drain, and set aside.
Step 4. Put the drained pork belly pieces into a water-free and oil-free pot and stir-fry over low heat.
Step 5: Be sure to use low heat and stir-fry until the surface of the pork belly is golden and a lot of oil appears on the bottom of the pot. Then take out the pork belly and do not pour out the oil in the pot.
Step 6. Continue to use low heat and use the fried lard in step 5. After the oil is hot, add an appropriate amount of rock sugar and stir continuously with a spatula until it becomes obvious caramel color.
Step 7, then add the stir-fried pork belly and stir-fry until the pork belly is evenly coated with caramel color.
Step 8. Add chive segments, star anise, bay leaves and dried red pepper and sauté until fragrant.
Step 9. Pour in an appropriate amount of light soy sauce and dark soy sauce for coloring, and stir-fry until each piece of pork belly is evenly colored.
Step 10. Add an appropriate amount of water to completely cover the pork belly. Cover the pot and simmer over low heat.
Step 11: Simmer for about 40 minutes. You can see that the soup juice is obviously reduced. At this time, add 1 spoon of salt and start to reduce the juice over high heat.
Step 12. Don’t remove all the soup, just leave a little bit. Add half a spoonful of MSG to enhance the freshness before serving.
