Homemade cured meat

Homemade cured meat

Pork belly rubbed with liquor, soy, char siu sauce, and rock sugar air-cures into fragrant, ruby-striped bacon that carries the smoky soul of winter.

Instructions

  1. 1
    Step image

    Fresh pork belly.

  2. 2
    Step image

    Ingredients. (Bacon made with high-proof liquor is very fragrant and will not change flavor)

  3. 3
    Step image

    Use tweezers to pluck off the fine hairs on the pork belly skin, then wash it and drain the water for later use.

  4. 4
    Step image

    Add salt and white pepper powder.

  5. 5
    Step image

    Rock sugar.

  6. 6
    Step image

    Add light soy sauce and char siu sauce.

  7. 7
    Step image

    Turn it back and forth with your hands so that the pork belly can be evenly coated with the seasoning. (About five minutes)

  8. 8
    Step image

    Place the turned meat in a bowl to marinate. (No need to cover it)

  9. 9
    Step image

    Take it out and turn it over once in the morning and evening.

  10. 10
    Step image

    Prepare the rope.

  11. 11
    Step image

    The pork belly that has been marinated for three days is rinsed with hot water to remove the marinade.

  12. 12
    Step image

    Holes have already been pre-punched in the pork skin, and it is strung together one by one with a rope.

  13. 13
    Step image

    Slightly drip off the water, place it in a ventilated area (better if exposed to the sun) to dry, and it can be eaten in about a month. (Because I made it in relatively large pieces)
