Braised Pork is a popular Chinese dish, known as "红烧肉"(hóng shāo ròu) in Chinese. Braised Pork is made by slowly simmering pork belly in a flavorful sauce until it becomes tender and rich in flavor.
The Cooking Method of Braised Pork:
- Cut the pork belly into chunks and blanch them in boiling water, then set aside.
- Heat up an empty wok and add oil, followed by rock sugar. Let the sugar melt over low heat.
- Add the pork belly to the wok and stir-fry.
- Add ginger and garlic.
- Stir-fry for a while, then pour in light soy sauce and dark soy sauce.
- Continue stir-frying and pour in enough water to cover the meat.
