Ingredients
Steps
-
When buying pork belly, ask to cut it into cubes
-
To process prunes, you need to soak them in warm water first, because the prunes produced in different places are different. The ones I bought were dried by my friend’s mother-in-law herself. They were dried with leaves and were very tender. I only soaked them for fifteen minutes, rinsed them, and squeezed them dry. Some prunes have older stems and need to be soaked for more time
-
Aniseed
-
Boil the pork belly and aniseed ingredients together in water until cooked, about 20 minutes
-
Rinse the cooked pork belly and poke the skin with a sharp object. I don’t have any other tools at home, so I can only use chopsticks instead
-
Use an appropriate amount of dark soy sauce to color the meat, smear it on all sides, then marinate the meat skin down for 20 minutes
-
Take out the marinated meat and let it dry with the skin facing up. If you have a fan, you can use a fan to shorten the time
-
Fry the pork skin: Pour salad oil into a hot pot, just enough oil to cover the pork skin. At 70% temperature, fry the pork belly skin down. Remember to cover the pot when frying, otherwise the hot oil will splash and burn you
-
This piece of meat was fried for about fifteen minutes. Don’t use too much heat. Just medium heat is enough. It will be fried beautifully
-
Cut the fried meat into thin and even skins, arrange them in one direction, and arrange them according to the distance in my picture (it is more beautiful). Use a knife to lift the meat slices at a time and turn it to the palm of your left hand, and then spread the meat into the bowl. This action needs to be practiced several times😜 You can also arrange it into the bowl one by one
-
Look inside the bowl. The skin of the meat is sticking to the wall of the bowl. We will have some extra meat slices at this time. Don’t waste it. Cut it into cubes and use it to stir-fry prunes later
-
Next, we stir-fry the prunes, heat the pan, add the diced pork, stir-fry until the oil comes out, add two star anise and stir-fry together
-
When the meat is charred, pour in a spoonful of soy sauce and stir-fry for a few times. Add the pickled pickles and stir-fry together until the pickled pickles are dehydrated and bursts of pickle fragrance comes out. 0k
-
Fill the fried prunes into the meat bowl and press it hard with a spatula a few times so that it will not spread easily when it comes out of the pan
-
Sauce: 3 spoons of soy sauce, 1 spoon of dark soy sauce, 1 spoon of seasoning sugar, add a little MSG and mix with boiling water to make half a bowl. Taste the saltiness and control the taste. Then pour it into the bowl with the ingredients. Don't fill it more than the ingredients. It should be 90% full. Finally, put the bowl in a pressure cooker and press it over high heat. Turn to medium heat and press for more than 45 minutes. The longer it is, the more delicious it will be
-
When the time is up, turn off the heat, wait until the pressure cooker is finished and take it out. First, pour the soup in the bowl into another bowl, cover it with a flat plate and turn it upside down. Pour the juice onto the braised pork with plums and vegetables. A beautiful and delicious braised pork with plums and vegetables is completed
