Shanghai-Style Braised Pork Belly (Hong Shao Rou)

• 份量: 8 servings
• 活動時間: 15 minutes
• 總時間: 1 hour 15 minutes

食材

1 1/2 pounds lean, skin-on pork belly

2 tablespoons oil (any neutral oil, such as canola, vegetable, or avocado oil)

2 tablespoons rock sugar (or granulated sugar)

1/3 cup Shaoxing wine

2 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon dark soy sauce

2-3 cups water (see note)

步驟

Cut your pork belly into 3/4-inch thick pieces. Add them to a medium pot and cover with water. Bring the water to a boil, and boil for about 1 minute, or just until the pork turns opaque. This removes impurities and starts the cooking process. Take the pork out of the pot, rinse, and set it aside. Discard the water and clean out your pot.

Over low heat, add the oil and sugar to your wok or pot. Melt the sugar, and add the pork. Raise the heat to medium, and cook until the pork is lightly browned.

Reduce the heat to low, and add the wine. Cook for 2 minutes, then add the soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and water.

Cover and simmer over medium heat for about 45 minutes to 1 hour, until pork is fork tender. Every 5-10 minutes, stir to prevent burning and add more water if it gets too dry.

Once the pork is fork tender, if there is still a lot of visible liquid, uncover the wok, turn up the heat, and stir continuously until the sauce has reduced to a glistening coating.
