Secret Recipe Braised Pork - Wok Version
I've always used a cast iron pot to make braised pork, but considering not everyone has one, I created a wok version of braised pork.
Ingredients
Steps
Select high-quality pork belly
Cut into square pieces
Place the meat directly into the wok. No oil! No oil! No oil! Heat over medium flame until the surface turns slightly golden brown
Add ginger, Sichuan peppercorns, star anise, and nutmeg, then stir-fry until fragrant
Add Shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, fermented tofu, and rock sugar in sequence. Mix well after each addition before adding the next ingredient
Finally, add fermented tofu and rock sugar to enhance the color of the braised pork
After all seasonings are added, include two large segments of scallion
Add boiling water until it covers the meat
Simmer over low heat with the lid on for 40 minutes to an hour. Then remove the large spices
Uncover and reduce the sauce over high heat. Be careful not to leave as it can easily burn. Once the sauce thickens, it's ready to serve.
