Pork belly stew is a very tasty home-cooked dish, and here are some simple steps and tips to make your pork belly stew that is spoilt and delicious:
1.Prepare the ingredients: Choose fresh pork belly and cut it into evenly sized pieces. Prepare some ginger slices, green onions, garlic cloves, and other spices of your choice.
2.Blanch to remove the fish: Blanch the pork belly pieces in boiling water and cook until the meat pieces change color to remove blood and impurities. Rinse with clean water after removal.
3.Stir-fry seasoning: Add an appropriate amount of oil to the pot, add ginger slices, green onions, garlic cloves and other seasonings to stir-fry the fragrance.
4.Sauté the pork belly: Put the blanched pork belly pieces in a pan and fry until the surface is slightly browned, which will lock in the juices and add flavor.
5.Add seasonings: Add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, rock sugar, salt and other seasonings, adjust according to personal taste. Stir-fry well to evenly color the meat.
6.Add water to simmer: Add enough hot water to the surface of the water above the meat pieces, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to a low heat and simmer. The simmering time depends on the size of the piece of meat and the individual taste, but it generally takes 1-2 hours until the pork belly is soft and flavoury.
7.Add side dishes (optional): If you prefer, you can add some side dishes such as potatoes, carrots, shiitake mushrooms, etc., during the stew, at the right time depending on how easy the side dish is cooked.
8.Simmer until rotten: Cook the pork belly over low heat to allow the pork belly to absorb the seasonings until the meat is so tender that you can easily insert the pieces with chopsticks.
9.Adjust the taste: Try the flavor during the simmering process, adding salt or other seasonings as needed.
10.Serve from the pan: Serve the stewed pork belly on a plate and sprinkle with some chopped green onions for garnish and enjoy a delicious stewed pork belly.
With the above steps, you can stew a rotten and delicious pork belly. Remember to simmer long enough so that the meat is more tender and juicy. You can also add spices and side dishes to your taste to make the pork belly stew more varied. Happy cooking and enjoying your meal!
