Today I'm partnering with Knorr, and I'll use Knorr Liquid Seasoning to make Boiled Pork in
Garlic Sauce. It s the perfect spring and summer dish that everyone in your family will enjoy.
Here's more information about Knorr Liquid Seasoning. It brings out the umami flavor. It s
the perfect all-around companion in the kitchen as you can use it to cook, marinate, sprinkle,
and serve as a dipping sauce! Just one bottle inspires you with endless creations!
In a large pot of water over high heat, place in the Shaoxing wine, ginger,
scallions, Sichuan peppercorns, and pork belly. Traditionally,
this dish requires the second cut of pork rump. In Chinese, we call Er Dao Rou. But
butchers don t cut the pork that way in the US, so we will replace it with pork belly.
Bring it to a boil, then turn to the lowest heat, and simmer for 1 hour.
Remove the pork belly, and let it cool down. It will be easier to
cut into thin slices once completely cooled down.
Trim off the uneven parts, and cut it into thin slices.
In a pot over low heat, bring the water to a simmer. Place in the Sichuan peppercorns,
fennel seeds, star anise, black cardamom,
bay leaves, and cinnamon stick. Cook until aromatic for 3 minutes.
Add the Knorr Liquid Seasoning, soy sauce, and brown sugar.
Whisk and cook for another 15 minutes until it is thickened. We will need about 3 tablespoons of
this sweet soy sauce today. You can save the rest in the fridge for next time or for other recipes.
Filter out the spices.
In a bowl, add the pureed garlic, minced garlic, salt,
sesame oil, 3 tablespoons of sweet soy sauce that we made, and chili oil. Whisk.
Place the pork slices around a bowl. Traditionally, people would blanch or
steam the pork slices again before serving, but I prefer eating it as a cold dish during
spring and summer. You can try both ways, and let me know which one you like better.
And fill the center with more pork slices and cucumber.
Top it with a plate, carefully turn everything over, and uncover the bowl. Garnish with
scallions and cilantro. Drizzle with the sauce.
