Thanks to my friend Jie, he gave me for a packet of deep-sea organic baby kelp. The meat is very thick and is said to be the best kelp. I immediately want to use it to make braised kelp with pork which is one of my favorite braised kelp dish. My braised meat method is simple, without stir-frying sugar, bright red in color, rich in aroma, and healthier than the ordinary method. This is already my specialty. Every time I make it, even my mother who is a veteran kitchen expert also compliments me. I never eat fat meat except for the braised meat I make myself. Today I want to share the method to you.
The kelp dish smells good! Especially fat meat, not greasy at all, fragrant, melted in the mouth, soft and waxy, I could not help but eat 3 chunks, too delicious, I could not help! My kelp is quite thick, so it will simmer for half an hour. Just right, waxy, very tasty, and not fishy at all. Mom said, with a Shanghai belt, braised meat seems to be better, haha! It’s so delicious. If I can, I’d like everyone to try my braised kelp with pork recipe at home. I’m sure you’ll like it.
