Detailed Steps for Cooking Steamed Pork with Potatoes
Two pieces of pork belly
All seasonings
Secret weapon: Wangzhihe Fermented Bean Curd
Add all seasonings except for salt, cook on high heat for 10 minutes, then turn to low heat and simmer for about 40 minutes. Add salt as needed and simmer for another 20 minutes or so. The tenderness of the meat during simmering determines the softness of the meat in the later stage.
Take out the cooked pork belly and let it cool. Freeze it in the refrigerator for a while before slicing it, which makes it easier to slice. It is usually cooked in large quantities at once and can be steamed and served when guests arrive, saving time.
A dish that can fill the table, Steamed Pork with Potatoes is now ready. Potatoes can absorb a lot of oil, making the pork belly less greasy and more satisfying to eat. You will love it more and more as you eat it.
