First of all, let’s talk about the ingredients:
Main ingredients: quick-frozen beans (no-wash): 1 and a half pounds, autumn potatoes: 8 taels, pork belly: one and a half.
Seasoning: ginger, garlic (purple-skinned ones are best), salt, soy sauce, thirteen spices, aniseed petals, vegetable oil.
The next step is the preparation process:
1. Wash the potatoes, peel them, and cut them into pieces. It is best to use a knife to cut them into pieces, because the contact area of ??such potato pieces is large. Easy to taste;
2. Make garlic sauce: rinse 2-4 cloves of purple garlic, flatten it with a kitchen knife on the cutting board, peel it, smash it, and chop it evenly (the pieces should not be too small) ), put it in a small bowl, add soy sauce, and make garlic sauce for later use;
3. Cut the pork belly into strips or slices, and cut the ginger into slices, 3-5 slices are enough.
Focus on the cooking process
1. Heat the wok until the oil is slightly hot, add the pork belly, and stir-fry until 6 or 7 minutes cooked;
2. Add minced ginger and stir-fry for a few times; pour in soy sauce to bring out the aroma;
3. Add the potato cubes and stir-fry for a while to let the potatoes take on the flavor and color. Fry until the oil soup becomes sticky (the potatoes are fried to produce starch) and stick to the potato cubes;
4. Unpack the quick-frozen beans, pour them directly into the pot, and stir-fry with the potatoes until the beans soften and turn dark green;
5. Add water, then add salt, aniseed, thirteen spices and other seasonings, cover the pot and simmer until the potatoes and beans are cooked.
Final notes:
1.
Be sure to buy quick-frozen beans that come in bags and are no-wash. Do not expose them to heat or thaw before putting them in the pot. Put them in the pot immediately after opening.
2.
After stewing for a certain period of time, take out the aniseed pieces first. As time goes by, the aniseed flavor will become too strong and not beautiful.
3.
When cooking, you may add a small amount of MSG depending on the taste.
4.
If you have a bunch of Chinese cabbage around, it would be delicious to tear a few apart and stew them together in a pot. However, in that case, the name of this dish may need to be changed. It should be called bad (random) ) Stewed? hehe.
5.
This dish is prepared for two plates. If you only want to make one plate, then all the ingredients can be halved
