Braised Pork Belly
Shandong's famous Bazi pork belly: thick slices are pan-fried golden, glazed in amber caramel with soy sauce, then slow-braised with star anise, cassia, bay leaves, and rock sugar until spoon-tender. Fatty, fragrant, and perfect over steamed rice.
Instructions
- 1
After scraping off the hair from the pork and washing it clean, soak it in cold water; if the soaking time is sufficient, change the water and soak again to remove the fishy smell.
- 2
Cut into 1.2-1.5 cm thickness;
- 3
The pork belly is not bad.
- 4
Heat the pan first, then add oil. You don't need to add a lot of oil. Pan-fry the pork belly over medium heat, and reduce to low heat when flipping it over, as the oil becomes very hot.
- 5
Pan-fry both sides until golden brown;
- 6
Put it into the stew pot. I usually place a small steaming rack at the bottom to prevent sticking to the pot.
- 7
Cut and set aside for later use, don't forget to boil another pot of water;
- 8
Restart the pot, still start by heating the pan, add oil and rock sugar (it should be medium-low heat, switch between 600 and 400 on the induction cooker. Stir on 600 until it becomes sandy);
- 9
After adding 400 small bubbles, put in the green onions, and instantly coat with sugar to enhance the color;
- 10
Pour in the soy sauce;
- 11
The color looks good, add hot water;
- 12
Wash and clean the ingredients, put in whatever you have, add whatever you like. I don't like strong seasoning, so use a little less of everything.
- 13
Into the pot;
- 14
Add more water, and after it comes to a boil, simmer it on low heat for an hour.
- 15
Pan-fry the chili over low heat until soft (deep-frying is also fine) and set aside;
- 16
Fry the eggs until they become tiger skin-like.
- 17
After frying, stew it together with the meat until well-flavored;
- 18
After a few hours, add chili and simmer for about ten minutes.
- 19
Remove from the pot;
- 20
Soft and glutinous fragrance…
