Oil-Free Home-Style Braised Pork, Delicious and Not Greasy!!
My son 👦 loves braised pork. Today, I'm sharing an easy and delicious braised pork recipe to make at home. It melts in your mouth, is fatty but not greasy, and totally addictive～
Ingredients
Steps
Clean the pork belly and cut it into mahjong-sized cubes (drain the water to avoid oil splatter). Pan-fry until both sides are golden. Note ⚠️ fry on low heat to render the excess fat, which can be saved and used for cooking—it’s super fragrant ☺️.
Add a small amount of oil to the pan, along with a handful of rock sugar, and stir-fry over low heat until it turns reddish-brown (be careful not to overheat, as it may turn black and taste bitter). This step requires a bit of patience—the key to delicious braised pork is getting the color right 👍 for a glossy, reddish appearance!
Once the caramelized sugar is ready, add the pork belly and stir-fry until evenly coated. Add green onion, ginger, dried chili, star anise, cinnamon, 2 tablespoons of light soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of dark soy sauce.
Pour in half a bottle of expired beer 🍻 and enough hot water to cover the ribs. Bring to a boil over high heat, then simmer over low heat for about an hour. Finally, remove the spices and reduce the sauce over high heat—don’t reduce it too much.
Serve on a plate and sprinkle with green onion.
Wow 😍😍😍 mouth-watering! Friends, hurry and make this for your kids. The chewy and tender braised pork paired with a big bowl of rice is absolutely fantastic 👍.
