Peanuts and soybeans braised pork debut

Peanuts and soybeans braised pork debut

Peanuts and soybeans join pork belly in a slow braise until the beans turn creamy, the nuts go tender, and every cube wears a sticky caramel-soy coat. Hearty, nutty, and deeply savory, this rustic variation stretches a classic into feast-worthy abundance.

Instructions

    Put oil and rock sugar in the pot, and stir-fry the sugar color over low heat.

    Add the pork belly and stir-fry until it changes color.

  6. 6
    Step image

    Add slices of ginger, star anise, cinnamon, and bay leaves, then pour in cooking wine, light soy sauce, and dark soy sauce. Stir-fry a bit longer to render the fat from the meat, so the meat will taste better after cooking.

  7. 7
    Step image

    Add peanuts and soybeans, pour in water until it covers the meat, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer for 1-1.5 hours. When the meat can easily be pierced with chopsticks, add salt to season, then turn to medium heat and cook for another 5 minutes.
