Hello everyone, I am Wang Gang. In this video I am going to share homemade style braised pork with you.
First off, let's warm up the wok until the smoke comes out.
Prepare 400g of braised pork, put the pork into the wok with skin faced down
Remove the pork from the wok when the skin is golden
The purpose of that is to remove the skin smell of the pork
Add water and wash the pork skin clean
Clean it properly, otherwise there will be bitterness
Next we will boil the pork
Add some water
Place the cleaned pork inside
Add a few slices of ginger
Add 40g rice wine
Add a few spring onions
Cook for 15 minutes with maximum fire
When boiling, remove the floating blood foam
After 15 minutes, remove the pork and cool it down
The purpose of this step is to prevent oil being splattered during later stir fry
Cut the pork to your favourite size after cooling down
Let's prepare the side ingredients
Cut 15g ginger slices
Knot spring onions and put them into a bowl.
Prepare 4 washed raw eggs
You may replace egg with pigeon eggs or quail eggs
Now let's prepare the spices
Add 2 star anises, 2 Chinese cinnamons
Add 2 bay leaves
Finally add a few green Sichuan pepper corn
Now let's start cooking.
First wok needs some warming up
After warm it up, add some oil
Pour the oil out after a few seconds
Put the pork into the wok
Stir fry the pok with minimum fire for 6 minutes
The purpose of this step is to make the pork golden
You must remove the excessive oil during the stir fry
Pour out the oil one last time and remove the pork
Now stir fry the spices and ginger slices
Add the pork back and stir fry everything for 30 seconds
The purpose of this step is to force the scent out of the spices
After 30 seconds, add 30g sugar color
You can use 5g dark soy sauce if you don't have sugar color
Now add 3g normal soy sauce from the side of the wok
Stir fry for a few times
When the pork has darker color, add 500ml beer
Add 400ml of water
boil everything with maximum fire
When boiling, we start the seasoning
Add 2g of salt
Add 2g of white sugar
Add a few black pepper powder
Now add the green onion
Adjust to minimum fire, add eggs
Cook for 1 hour
The purpose of this step is to make the port have the seasoning taste
At 50th minute, remove the green onions and the gingers
Remove the eggs and put them at the bottom of the dish
Using minimum fire and condense the gravy, this step may take 10 minutes
When gravy is condensed, the pork is ready to be placed on the dish
Red braised pork is now finished which is not too greasy
Now for the technical summary
1. Use pork belly or lesser fatty pork as the main ingredent
2. Eggs are used to add more protein and freshness
3. Beer has better ability to immerse seasoning taste into the pork
4. Eggs must be removed prior to condensation
otherwise eggs shells may fall down and stick to the meat
5. Do not add too much sugar color, the food would be too dark
6. For ones that don't have sugar color, use dark soy sauce instead
That's all the technical summary.
