In the autumn season, the aroma of chestnuts is always irresistible. Today, let's learn how to easily make delicious chestnut roast pork at home and feel the unique home-cooked taste.
First, prepare the ingredients you need: fresh chestnuts, pork belly, ginger, cooking wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rock sugar, and salt to taste. Cut the pork belly into cubes and slice the ginger for later use.
Next, blanch the pork belly in boiling water to remove blood and impurities. Then, add a little oil to the pan, add rock sugar, and sauté over low heat until melted and golden brown. At this point, put the pork belly pieces into the pan and stir-fry quickly so that the surface of the pork belly is evenly coated with sugar.
Next, add an appropriate amount of cooking wine, light soy sauce and dark soy sauce, and continue to stir-fry evenly. Then add an appropriate amount of water, cover the meat surface, add ginger slices and a few star anise, bring to a boil over high heat, turn to low heat and simmer.
During the simmering process, the chestnuts are shelled, peeled and cleaned. When the pork belly is simmered until soft, put the chestnuts in the pot and continue to simmer for about 20 minutes until the chestnuts have fully absorbed the flavor of the gravy.
Finally, add an appropriate amount of salt to taste according to taste, stir-fry evenly and then remove from the pot. Place the prepared chestnut roast pork on a plate and garnish with some chopped green onions.
With the above few simple steps, a delicious home-cooked chestnut roast pork dish is complete. The pork belly is stewed soft and glutinous, and the chestnuts absorb the deliciousness of the gravy and melt in your mouth. This dish is not only rich in taste, but also has high nutritional value, making it a heartwarming dish on an autumn day. Try it at home and let the whole family experience the taste of autumn.
