Book review of solar terms kitchen

Tomorrow is the first 13 solar term in beginning of autumn among the 24 solar terms, and it is also the first solar term in autumn. Although the weather is much cooler, it is still in the "dog days", and occasionally there will be "autumn tigers"! There has always been a folk saying that beginning of autumn will "stick on autumn fertilizer" after summer. Due to the hot climate, people generally have poor appetite, and they mainly eat cold dishes or light diets. Some people like to eat cold drinks, and their spleen and stomach are in a cold state for a long time. Therefore, in autumn, we should eat more nutritious food to nourish the body, make up for the energy consumed in hot summer and lay a good foundation for resisting the cold winter.

Of course, eating meat is essential to gain weight! I haven't eaten anything high in fat this summer. Take this time to make up for it and make abalone and braised pork! Braised pork, also known as Dongpo meat, is characterized by rosy color, fat but not greasy, instant in the mouth, rich in nutrition and delicious with abalone, and is known as "soft gold" on the seabed. Although it looks oily and red, it won't feel greasy at all, and it tastes super delicious!

Required ingredients: pork belly 350g abalone 8- 10 crystal sugar 10g onion 1 ginger 4-5 slices of star anise 1 2 tablespoons soy sauce 1 spoon cooking wine 1 spoon sesame salt, a little cooking oil and a little hot water 1.

Cooking steps:

1. Dig the abalone out of the shell with a spoon, remove the internal organs, brush the black part of the edge with a small brush, and cut the surface with a cross knife.

2. Pork belly is cut into slightly larger squares, and onions, ginger, star anise and rock sugar are prepared.

3. Put the pork belly in a pot with cold water, boil it over high fire, skim off the floating foam on the surface, remove it and dry it with kitchen paper or drain the excess water.

There is no need to put oil in the pot. Deep-fry the pork belly in low fire until it is oily and the skin is brown.

5. Just put the fat of the fried meat in the pot into the rock sugar and stir-fry until the rock sugar melts amber. This step is called "stir-frying sugar".

6. Stir-fry the pork belly and color it, then add the onion, ginger and star anise and stir-fry for fragrance.

7. Add soy sauce, soy sauce and cooking wine and stir-fry until the pork belly is colored.

8. Add hot water to boil and simmer for 40-50 minutes.

9. When the braised pork is almost cooked, add abalone and continue stewing for about ten minutes.

10. When there is a small amount of soup left in the pot, stir fry over high fire to collect the juice and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onion.

1 1. Fat but not greasy, and the delicious abalone braised pork for dinner is ready. Stew a pot for your family!

Tips:

Choose a layer of fat and a layer of thin braised pork, stir-fry the rock sugar back and forth with low fire, and be careful not to stir-fry, otherwise the braised pork will be dark and bitter. Seasoning is added according to your own taste. Soy sauce and soy sauce are salty, so add salt appropriately.
