Braised Pork

This Braised pork recipe from Noob Cook . Easy to prepare .



Ingredients(serves 3-4)- 250g shoulder butt ,250g pork belly
- 3 tbsp dark soy sauce 酱油( I use Tai Hua )
- 1 litre water
- hard bean curd

A) Stewing Ingredients- 1 cinnamon stick 桂皮 ( I bought a mix herb from sheng shiong)
- 1 star anise 八角
- 4 cloves 丁香
- 4 small pieces rock sugar 冰糖 (see picture above)
- 1.5 bulbs of garlic, separated into individual cloves (do not need to peel)
Directions
1. I season my pork with dark soya sauce for 1 hour or overnight. 

2. In a pot or wok (this will be what you will be using for the braising later), brown pork belly on both sides on medium heat. Do not wash the pot or wok because you want the juices from browning the meat in the stew.

3. Add water and the ingredients in A. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to simmer (with lid partially closed) for an hour.

4. Check the water level to ensure that the braising sauce is not dried out during the simmering. You will need to add more water (a little at a time) when the water is drying out.

5.for sweeter sauce , add rock sugar; for saltier, add more dark soy; not enough gravy, add more water etc

6. When it’s ready to serve with rice or steamed buns. Garnish with spring onions or coriander.
