Hazırlanışı

Adım adım

1
Blanch the pork belly: Bring a pot of water to a rolling boil, add the pork belly, and cook for 3-5 minutes until impurities rise to the surface.
Yaklaşık 5 dk.
Aşçının notu: This step helps to remove any gamey smell and excess fat.
2
Drain the pork belly, rinse under cold water, and pat dry thoroughly with paper towels.
Yaklaşık 2 dk.
Aşçının notu: Drying the pork helps it crisp up better when searing.
3
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
4
Add the rock sugar to the pot and stir constantly until it melts and turns into a light amber caramel.
Yaklaşık 3 dk.
Aşçının notu: Be careful not to burn the sugar, as it can turn bitter quickly.
5
Add the dried pork belly to the pot and stir-fry for 5-7 minutes, coating it in the caramel and browning all sides.
Yaklaşık 7 dk.
Aşçının notu: This step adds color and depth of flavor to the pork.
6
Add the ginger, scallion, star anise, cinnamon stick, and bay leaves to the pot and stir-fry for another minute until fragrant.
Yaklaşık 1 dk.
7
Pour in the Shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and water.
8
Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and simmer for 75-80 minutes, or until the pork belly is fork-tender.
Yaklaşık 1 sa. 20 dk.
Aşçının notu: Stir occasionally to prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
9
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high.
10
Simmer for another 5-10 minutes, stirring, until the sauce thickens and coats the pork belly.
Yaklaşık 10 dk.
Aşçının notu: The sauce should be glossy and reduced, not watery.
11
Remove and discard the ginger, scallion, star anise, cinnamon stick, and bay leaves before serving.
