Salt-baked pork belly

Overview

I miss the salt-baked chicken in my hometown, so I bought sea salt from the supermarket. I happen to have an iron pot at home that doesn’t need to be covered for a long time. It’s perfect. Let’s do it. If we don’t have chicken at the moment, just bake the pork. When it comes to salt baking, there is still a lot to do. In addition to salt baking the whole chicken, you can also salt bake chicken wings, chicken legs, and chicken gizzards. Salt baked shrimps and salt fish are also good. Don’t forget the Bajie meat. There are also a lot of salt baked, such as pork belly, head meat, etc. I won’t talk about it, let’s take action.

Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Put the marinated pork seasoning into a hand-pulled garlic crusher and crush it slightly. The particles should not be too small, just crush it slightly. For those who do not have this machine, just crush the fragrance with your hands; 2, 3.

   

2. 2 Add the seasonings to the pot and add about 1/4 cup of sea salt.

   

3. 3 Stir-fry over medium heat until the sea salt turns yellow and the ginger slices are fragrant.

   

4. 4 Put the meat in a bowl, add about 1 tablespoon of the ingredients stir-fried in step 2. Don’t use too much. It’s difficult to stir-fry with a small amount, so stir-fry a little more. The rest can be added to the sea salt for roasting the meat and stir-fry together. Use your hands to spread it evenly and let it sit for about 2 hours.

   

5. 5 Scrape off the seasonings from the meat before baking.

   

6. 6 Add about 1500 grams of sea salt, 1 star anise, 2 tablespoons of Sichuan peppercorns, 1 teaspoon of cumin, and 20 slices of ginger. Crush the star anise with a knife before adding it to the pot. Turn up the heat and stir-fry until the dried ginger is fragrant and the sea salt turns yellow. You can smell the aroma of the seasoning, then reduce the heat to low.

   

7. 7 Wrap the meat, tie it up in a bundle, put it in the pot, and use a spoon to spread the sea salt from the bottom to the top to cover it.

   

8. 8 Cover the lid, reduce the heat to low, and bake for 30 minutes. Then turn the meat over, spoon sea salt on top of the meat, and bake for 10 minutes.

   

9. 9 When the time is up, insert the meat probe. If the temperature exceeds 170°F, it means it is cooked. The meat must be cooked. If the meat is not cooked, grill it again until the meat is cooked. Then unpack and slice it to enjoy.
