Braised Pork with Chestnuts
The chestnut season is here again, and after the beginning of autumn, it's time to 'stick to autumn fat.' Braised pork with chestnuts is an irresistible delicacy. The caramelized braised pork is visually delightful, and the taste is taken to the next level. Combined with the powdery, sweet chestnuts, it's incredibly satisfying to eat. However, washing the bowls and pots used for braising the pork is quite a painful task, as it's both water and labor-intensive due to the grease and sticky syrup. But with the Midea 360° Spray Arm Dishwasher, this tedious task becomes much simpler! This dishwasher uses both horizontal and vertical 360-degree powerful sprays, living up to its name as a multi-directional spray arm. It ensures every corner of the interior is cleaned thoroughly, leaving no dirty spots on your utensils. Moreover, it automatically adjusts the time and water usage based on the dirtiness of the tableware. When the cycle is finished, clean and shiny dishes and cookware are ready at your disposal.

Additionally, it looks high-end and stylish, perfectly versatile for any kitchen.

Ingredients
Steps
Prepare the ingredients.
Cut the pork belly into chunks.
Blanch the pork in cold water with ginger slices, scallion stalks, and cooking wine. Bring to a boil.
After boiling, skim off the foam.
Remove the pork pieces, rinse with warm water to clean off the foam, and set aside to drain.
The cutting board, bowls, and tools used can be washed with the Midea 360° Spray Arm Dishwasher! It makes post-cooking cleanup so much easier and more enjoyable.
Heat oil in a pan.
Add rock sugar and melt it over high heat.
Add the pork belly pieces to the pan.
Coat the pork pieces evenly with the caramelized sugar.
Add light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, cooking wine, and fermented red bean curd sauce to the pan. Mix well.
Pour in enough warm water to cover the pork. Add scallion stalks, ginger slices, star anise, and a cinnamon stick.
Bring to a boil, cover, and simmer over low heat for about 30 minutes.
Add peeled chestnuts to the pot. If you're using chestnuts with shells, peel them beforehand. Chestnuts should not be added too early to avoid overcooking and breaking apart, which can ruin the appearance.
After adding the chestnuts, cover and simmer for another 20 minutes. Open the lid and increase the heat to reduce the sauce.
Once the sauce has reduced and thickened, the braised pork with chestnuts is ready to serve!
This aromatic and flavorful braised pork with chestnuts is perfect for adding a touch of autumn to your Mid-Autumn Festival feast.
