2. Add rice wine to cold water and soak the pork, which can remove the blood in the blood vessels and reduce the fishy smell in the pork.

3. Add a small amount of vinegar, cooking wine, green onion and ginger to the pot, blanch the meat, vinegar should not be too much, a small amount of vinegar can make the meat fluffy and easier to burn.

4. Remove the blanched meat pieces and wash them.

5. Heat the pan, add a small amount of oil, stir-fry the chives and ginger, add the meat pieces, star anise, cinnamon, and start stir-frying. Add the cooking wine, fry the cooking wine dry, and add sugar.

6. After the sugar is dissolved, boiled water must be added at one time, and no additional water should be added in the process.

7. After boiling, turn to low heat, pay attention to the fire temperature, and it should not be too high.

8. After the meat is crispy, add dark soy sauce, light soy sauce and salt, and then turn on the high heat to reduce the juice after cooking for a while.

This recipe is actually an improved recipe, the most traditional braised pork does not add soy sauce at all, and the attractive red color is completely obtained by "stir-fried sugar color".

"Stir-fried sugar" requires crushing the rock sugar into powder to make it easier to melt. Stir-fry carefully in a hot pan with cold oil, carefully observe that the sugar will melt little by little during the heating process, and the color will change from white to yellow until it becomes a bright sauce red.

The timing of the cutting is very important, at the moment when the color is close, you should decisively pour in the processed meat pieces, stir-fry quickly, so that the meat pieces are evenly plated with a layer of beautiful sauce red and then immediately add water to stew, if the time to add meat is too early in this process, the sugar color is not enough, and the braised pork will not be red. If the hands are slow and the sugar is fried, a bitter taste will appear, and the dish will be completely scrapped.

The traditional braised pork does not add a drop of soy sauce during the whole process, and the thick sauce color is all sugar-colored. The finished dish is thick and red sauce, sweet and soft, and melts in your mouth.

Chang Zhaowen did not follow the traditional method, not because he did not have confidence in fried sugar, but because the tastes of people today and people in the past have changed dramatically, and the dietary structure is completely different.

The ancestors of the Chinese people experienced too many famines, and then evolved a "thrift gene", which can help human beings take more energy in the famine, and convert the limited sugar and carbohydrates into fat, so that they can survive in the harsh environment of extreme scarcity.

In the affluent modern society, the advantages of this thrifty gene are no longer there, but the disadvantages are highlighted. Driven by thrifty genes, the incidence of diabetes among Chinese people is soaring, and under the same diet, Chinese people are more likely to suffer from diabetes than other races. Because thrifty genes interfere with and stimulate the secretion of insulin, even though the body's fat and sugar stores are enough, they are still deceiving the body to store more energy, which also greatly increases the burden on the body.

In the era of scarce resources, being able to eat a piece of oily but not greasy, sweet and delicious braised pork is not only a satisfaction of appetite, but also a reward for the body that has been lacking oil and sugar for a long time, but in the modern society with plenty of food, this has become a "sweet burden" for the body.

As a chef, you should not only strive to make delicious food that excites your customers, but also consider the health of your guests, so that it is not only good for the sake of deliciousness, but also good for the body of the diners, at least, it should not increase the burden on the body of the diners. This is also the insistence of Chang Zhaowen different from other chefs.

Huang Mao in the front hall was very proud of his own words and reacted, who said that he couldn't afford to order food? Obviously, it was the dish he wanted to eat -- there was no one here! As a customer who has money and is willing to spend money, this money has nowhere to spend, what a painful realization this is!

"I just want to eat braised pork!" Huang Mao clasped his hands on his hips and yelled at his aunt. He, the little yellow dragon on the middle road of the city, listen, it's a dragon, what a lofty word? How could he be a loser who can't even order food?

"Why are you so loud? You know that the text restaurant doesn't sell braised pork at all, right?" "The aunt also crossed her waist without showing weakness, and wanted to fight with her, you are too tender!

"I ...... Oh, what kind of restaurant is this, not even such a basic braised pork? No wonder we can't order food. He was actually recognized by the aunt, but Huang Mao would not admit it, he immediately showed a surprised expression, and his voice was an octave higher.

Very good, in just one sentence, it fully shows a variety of emotions of surprise, doubt, and then disdain, and Huang Mao is very satisfied with his quick reaction ability.

There should be applause at this time!

He obviously brought a little brother!

Why didn't he let out a fart for most of the day, did he think he was just here to watch the show?

But when he turned his gaze to the bucktooth that was shrunk to the side, it almost didn't make him angry—it turned out that the reason why the bucktooth was so quiet was because he was eating heavily.

Probably feeling the gaze of Huang Mao's murderous gaze, Bucktooth finally lifted his face from the plate, and his voice was a little slurred because his mouth was stuffed with cucumbers: "Brother...... Brother, this white and yellow flower is so delicious that it flies!"

I knew that with such a little brother who had more than enough success and more than failure, he might as well come alone!

The 288 yuan a piece of cucumber is now left in a bare plate.

288 yuan a cucumber, he didn't even eat a bite!

It's too late to think about anything else, and if you don't do it, I'm afraid that even this piece will be gone, Huang Mao decisively reached out to the plate and picked up the last piece of cucumber.

When he goes back, he must ask Bucktooth to return the 100 yuan he gave him! No, it's not enough to pay back 100 yuan, and Bucktooth should pay for today's restaurant expenses. This is Huang Mao's heart at the moment, but after the cucumber is patted, they all change......

The refreshing and crisp cucumber burst in his mouth, and the fresh fragrance instantly pierced his soul!

It's so delicious!

Is this really just a cucumber slap?!

When he came back to his senses, he saw buckteeth staring blankly at him, and he was still holding a small brown insect, a cockroach, in his hand.

"Brother!" Bucktooth suddenly cried and looked depressed, "I specially left a piece uneaten, and I was going to press the material under that cucumber, and now ...... What do you say?"

What to do? What to do? The taste of cucumber is amazing!

After Huang Mao's brain continued to empty for three seconds, he finally realized what buckteeth meant, and he forgot that they didn't come to this text restaurant to eat, but to add ingredients to make a stinky person!

But now, there was only one clean empty plate left on the table, as if it had been licked, and now the cockroaches were put on the empty plate and said that there were cockroaches in the dishes...... There are cockroaches, and you still eat so cleanly?!

"Shhh, put things away quickly, so as not to be seen by others, Auntie is very troublesome...... "Hey, where is Auntie?"

Huang Mao noticed that the table next door was empty, what about Auntie? Could it be that an hour had passed between eating a cucumber just now, and Auntie had finished eating and left?

Of course, it is so outrageous that things cannot happen.

Huang Mao finally found his aunt - to be exact, he noticed the empty space first, the little boy with the dog ears and dog tail for selling cuteness, now lying on the kitchen wall, leaning his face to the mouth of the food, breathing in a big gulp, the corners of his mouth shining as if saliva.

"Meat, meat!" Sora whispered uncontrollably.

I didn't notice that there were several middle-aged women and all kinds of aunts around me who were also smiling, and they were holding their mobile phones in unison to take pictures of their empty appearances.

Such a cute little fresh meat, it is so cute, it arouses the motherhood of the aunts every minute, especially his vivid expression, after taking a photo of him, the aunt can eat several more bowls of rice.
