(4) The practice of stewing pork belly with lettuce
Ingredients: 1 pork belly, 2 lettuce, 1 chili pepper, 1 garlic, 1 piece ginger, green onion, cooking wine, Sichuan peppercorns, chicken essence, pepper
1. The first problem encountered after buying pork belly is cleaning, pork belly must really be washed, so that it will eat without peculiar smell. We can add flour and cooking wine, and then repeatedly put it in and knead and clean, both sides must be cleaned repeatedly. I repeatedly washed it with flour and cooking wine three times, and then rinsed it twice with water before it was thoroughly cleaned. It is not recommended to use alkali to wash pork belly, because alkali will destroy the mucus on the surface of the pork belly, which will destroy the protein of the belly wall and reduce the nutritional content of the pork belly.
2. After washing the pork belly, blanch it in a pot under cold water, and continue to cook for 5 minutes after boiling.
3. Then take it out and put it in a pressure cooker, add green onion, ginger, cooking wine, peppercorns, water, steam and press for 15 minutes.
4. At this time, we will prepare lettuce, two is enough, peel and cut the strips, after processing, put it aside for later.
5. Prepare another head of garlic, peel it without cutting it, and pack it up for later.
6. Slice another piece of ginger, cut the red pepper into strips, and the side dishes are ready.
7. Take out the pork belly in the pot after pressing, let it cool and cut it into small pieces.
8. Heat the oil, fry the ginger and garlic until fragrant, then pour the pork belly strips in, stir-fry over high heat for one minute, and then add lettuce.
9. Stir-fry evenly, pour in the original soup of pressed pork belly, add 2 spoons of salt, cover and continue to cook for 10 minutes.
10. After the lettuce is cooked, pour the chili pepper in, add a spoonful of chicken essence and half a spoonful of pepper to briefly adjust the taste.
11. After stir-frying a few times, add half a bowl of starch water to thicken, continue to cook for one minute, and then you can get out of the pot.
Tips:
1. Lettuce can’t be cooked for too long, as long as it’s cooked, it’s not delicious when cooked, and the color will not be good.
2. Pork belly is delicious and difficult to clean, this is the voice of many people. In fact, as long as you be patient, wash a few more times, cooking wine and flour are the key to remove taste, it is not recommended to use edible alkali.
3. The chili pepper I use is a vegetable pepper, which is more colorful, not spicy, and children can also eat it.
