Ingredients for curing bacon

When you pickle bacon, you need to prepare an appropriate amount of pork belly and five-spice powder, as well as salt, sugar, fennel, star anise, Sichuan pepper and other seasonings. Also prepare an appropriate amount of white wine, and also prepare a larger jar.

Steps for curing bacon

1. Cut the pork belly into long strips and put it in a large bowl. Apply the prepared salt evenly on the surface of the pork belly. Add sugar and apply it on the surface of the meat with your hands.

2. Prepare the white wine, put fennel, star anise, Sichuan pepper and five-spice powder into the white wine, and soak for a while. The longer the soaking time, the more fragrant it tastes.

3. Pour the soaked cooking wine into the meat, turn it over with your hands to marinate it evenly. Leave it overnight, and then blanch the meat with warm water.

4. Hang the processed meat up to dry, and put it in a basin after it stops dripping. Use soy sauce to color it, and then add an appropriate amount of five-spice powder. After marinating for a day, take it out and hang it in a ventilated place to air-dry.

5. The meat will be dried after about ten days. Take it down and store it in a ventilated and dry place. You can take it out whenever you want to eat it.
