3. Wash the pork belly, cut into thin slices and add a little starch.

4. Pour appropriate amount of oil into the pot, sauté ginger and minced garlic, pour in the pork belly and stir-fry, add a little cooking wine, and stir-fry until it changes color.

Tips for stewing potatoes with cowpeas:

1. It is best to make vermicelli with wide width, as it is more durable and delicious when stewed.

2. There is no need to blanch the pork belly, just stir-fry it directly. The excess fat produced by stir-frying can be controlled, and the pork belly cooked in this way will taste fat but not greasy.

3. Remember the order in which the ingredients are added to ensure the best taste in the end.

4. The size of the meat and potato cubes determines the final stewing time. If the cubes are larger, please extend the stewing time appropriately.

5. After peeling, potatoes should not be cooked immediately. They should be soaked in cold water to prevent them from turning black. However, be careful not to soak them for too long to avoid loss of nutrients such as water-soluble vitamins.
