Elaboració

Pas a pas

1
Blanch the pork belly cubes by placing them in a pot of cold water and bringing it to a boil. Skim off any foam that rises to the surface.
Uns 10 min
2
Once boiled, drain the pork belly and rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove any impurities. Set aside.
Uns 3 min
3
Heat the rapeseed oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the crushed rock sugar.
Uns 1 min
4
Cook the sugar, stirring constantly, until it melts and turns into a deep amber caramel. Be careful not to burn it.
Uns 3 min
Nota de cuina: Keep the heat moderate to prevent burning the sugar.
5
Add the blanched pork belly to the pot and stir well to coat the pork evenly with the caramel.
Uns 2 min
Nota de cuina: The caramel will seize up initially, but will loosen as the pork cooks.
6
Add the sliced ginger, scallion pieces, star anise, cinnamon stick, bay leaves, and dried chilies (if using) to the pot. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
Uns 3 min
7
Pour in the Shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, and dark soy sauce. Stir to combine.
Uns 1 min
8
Add the hot water, ensuring it just covers the pork belly. Bring the mixture to a boil.
Uns 5 min
9
Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 60 minutes, or until the pork is very tender.
Uns 1 h
Nota de cuina: Check occasionally to ensure there's enough liquid; add a little more hot water if needed.
10
After simmering, remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce reduces and thickens to a glossy consistency, about 10-15 minutes.
Uns 15 min
Nota de cuina: Watch closely during this stage to prevent the sauce from burning.
11
Stir in the salt to taste. Serve hot with steamed rice.
Uns 1 min
Nota de cuina: Adjust salt as needed, depending on the saltiness of your soy sauces.
