Introduction of Braised Pork Belly with Eggplant and Potato

It must be served with millet and rice mixed together to make it fragrant.

Many people know about the dish of three fresh vegetables. I think this dish of pork belly, eggplant and potato should be the stew version of the dish of three fresh vegetables. Pork belly is added, and the rest of the ingredients are the same, but the cooking method is different. The eggplant in the stew is more fragrant and flavorful. I think the eggplant cooked in this way is the most delicious.

How to make pork belly stewed with eggplant and potatoes

1. Cut the pork belly into 1 cm pieces, slice the green onion and ginger

2. When the oil in the pan is 60% to 70% hot, add pepper, star anise, onion and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant

3. Add the pork belly and stir-fry until the oil comes out. Add cooking wine and dark soy sauce and stir-fry evenly.

4. Pour in enough hot water to cover the pork belly by about 2 cm, bring to a boil over high heat, and continue to simmer over low heat for 20 minutes

5. Peel the potatoes, cut them into dices, and simmer them in the pot for about 10 minutes.

Tips

The pork belly can be blanched in water first. If you don’t blanch it, you must stir-fry it to release the oil, so that the pork belly will be fragrant and not greasy.

Usually when I make this dish, I stir-fry the meat first, stew it for 20 minutes, then cut the potatoes and stew them for 10 minutes, and then cut the eggplant and stew them for 10 minutes. The stewing time for each ingredient is basic common sense, but for a fairy who is detached from the world, it is still a question that needs to be answered.
