Instructions

First of all, we have to roast the back of the pork belly with fire, because usually the back of the pork belly bought in the market is hairy, and not so clean, and it will be much cleaner with fire. Add a basin of cold water, put the pork belly in, drop in a few drops of wine to fish, let sit for a while, remove, cut, and set aside.
We are going to add enough cold water to the prepared pot, put in the pork belly. Start to heat pork slowly, until the foam comes out. Then skim off the foam from the meat. This step is to remove odorous blood foam from the muscles.
And then we’re going to take out a casserole and to dry cook it without oil. Put the pork belly on, fry it with low heat. Then press it with a spatula which can squeeze the fat out of the pork belly. My casserole is different from ordinary casseroles. It can be dry-cooked at 800 degrees and stir-fried directly. If you use ordinary casserole to stew meat, this step can be done in your work.
Put 1 teaspoon of salt into the pot. Then fry the moisture of the meat itself until the meat is fragrant. Then turn on the heat to fry the excess oil of the meat. Fry it until both sides are golden. Then pour out the excess oil, and then you can use it.
At this time, we add the prepared 2 piece of ginger and 1 teaspoon of light soy sauce, 1 teaspoon of dark soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of rock sugar to the pot, and then open fire and stir a few times.
Then go and get a bottle of rice wine, add 1 tablespoon of rice wine into the pot. And pour the right amount of water which can immerse the ingredients. Put 1 green onionin the pot, cover it. And then turn on the high heat. After the water boils, it means that half of the success. At this point, we bring it back to a simmer.
Take out the deep-sea organic kelp, put it in the basin. Add a pot of boiling water to soak for half an hour. Then put the kelp on the cutting board, brush it with the brush. Just remember to brush on both sides and rub with salt for a minute or so. After then, the kelp is cleaned. Then usen knife to slice it.
Put the kelp in the pot, boil it in boiling water to blanch it. After boiled, take the kelp outside the water. And wash it again with water. Set aside.
At this time, the pork belly is also stewed for about half an hour. You can put the kelp into the pot to stew together. By the way, before putting the kelp, it is best to put some fragrant leaves, and cinnamon, for seasoning. Continue to simmer for half an hour. After half an hour, turn up the heat and reduce the juice. Taste it. I didn’t add salt. It’s just right. In a bowl, the delicious braised pork with kelp is finished.
