Mao Shi Hong Shao Rou

This classic Hunan dish features tender, succulent pork belly braised in a rich, savory, and slightly sweet sauce. The pork achieves a beautiful reddish-brown hue, characteristic of 'red braised' dishes, from the caramelization and dark soy sauce. It's a comforting and deeply flavorful main course.

Mod de preparare

Pas cu pas

  1. 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.

    Aproximativ 10 min.

  2. 2

    Once boiled, drain the pork belly and rinse thoroughly under cold water to remove any impurities. Set aside.

    Aproximativ 3 min.

  3. 3

    Heat the rapeseed oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the crushed rock sugar.

    Aproximativ 1 min.

  4. 4

    Cook the sugar, stirring constantly, until it melts and turns into a deep amber caramel. Be careful not to burn it.

    Aproximativ 3 min.

    Nota bucătarului: Keep the heat moderate to prevent burning the sugar.

  5. 5

    Add the blanched pork belly to the pot and stir well to coat the pork evenly with the caramel.

    Aproximativ 2 min.

    Nota bucătarului: The caramel will seize up initially, but will loosen as the pork cooks.

  6. 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.

    Aproximativ 3 min.

  7. 7

    Pour in the Shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, and dark soy sauce. Stir to combine.

    Aproximativ 1 min.

  8. 8

    Add the hot water, ensuring it just covers the pork belly. Bring the mixture to a boil.

    Aproximativ 5 min.

  9. 9

    Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 60 minutes, or until the pork is very tender.

    Aproximativ 1 oră

    Nota bucătarului: Check occasionally to ensure there's enough liquid; add a little more hot water if needed.

  10. 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.

    Aproximativ 15 min.

    Nota bucătarului: Watch closely during this stage to prevent the sauce from burning.

  11. 11

    Stir in the salt to taste. Serve hot with steamed rice.

    Aproximativ 1 min.

    Nota bucătarului: Adjust salt as needed, depending on the saltiness of your soy sauces.
