## Instructions
|
|
|
|
It is recommended to review the [Sugar Coloring](./../../condiment/简易版炒糖色.md) tutorial before starting.
|
|
|
|
- Cut the `pork belly` into large chunks (approx. 4.5cm).
|
|
- Slice the `ginger` (each slice approx. 3mm thick).
|
|
- Bring the `boiling water` to a boil.
|
|
- Use tap water for the `cold water`.
|
|
- Cut the white part of the `scallions` (`scallion whites`) into small segments (scallions are best, but green onions also work).
|
|
- Cut the `garlic` in half lengthwise; do not crush it, as it will be difficult to remove later and may affect the flavor during the `reducing sauce` stage.
|
|
- It is recommended to remove half of the ginger and scallions first, then place the remaining `ginger`, `scallion whites`, `garlic`, `Sichuan peppercorns`, `star anise`, and `bay leaves` into a bowl in advance for later use.
|
|
- Place the cut pork belly in a pot with cold water, add cooking wine and 2/5 of the ginger and scallions, and boil for 15 minutes to remove the gamey smell. Remove, rinse clean, and set aside.
|
|
- Prepare the [sugar coloring](./../../condiment/简易版炒糖色.md), ensuring you use operation 2 mentioned in the tutorial to make it.
|
|
- Pour the prepared `ginger`, `scallion whites`, `garlic`, `Sichuan peppercorns`, `star anise`, `bay leaves`, and `pork belly` into the pot. Stir-fry over `high heat` until fragrant, then pour in boiling water to cover the meat. Simmer for 50-60 minutes.
|
|
- If using a pressure cooker, cook for 40 minutes.
|
|
- Add 10ml of cooking wine.
|
|
- Cover the pot and bring to a boil. Every 25 minutes, open the lid and skim off the oil and foam floating on the surface.
|
|
- When the water level drops to 3/5 of the height between the top of the meat and the bottom of the pot, reduce to medium heat. Remove all auxiliary ingredients except the meat and water, and begin reducing the sauce.
|
|
- Leave the lid off. When the sauce becomes thick and almost dry, remove from heat (do not reduce it completely dry).
