Braised Pork/ Rice, Egg and Braised Pork

Braised pork is a delightful dish that is beloved in many cuisines around the world for its rich flavor and tender texture. The process involves slowly cooking pork in a seasoned liquid until it becomes melt-in-your-mouth tender. Here’s a basic recipe for braised pork that you can try at home:
Ingredients:
- 2 pounds pork shoulder (or pork belly), cut into large chunks
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 large onion, chopped
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 thumb-sized piece of ginger, peeled and sliced
- 1 cup soy sauce
- 1/2 cup rice wine (or dry sherry)
- 1/4 cup dark soy sauce (optional, for deeper color)
- 1/4 cup sugar (or honey)
- 2 cups water (or chicken stock)
- 2 star anise
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 2 bay leaves
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- Fresh cilantro (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. **Prepare the Pork**:
- Pat the pork pieces dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
2. **Brown the Pork**:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat.
- Add the pork pieces and brown on all sides, working in batches if necessary. Remove the pork and set aside.
3. **Sauté the Aromatics**:
- In the same pot, add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and sliced ginger, cooking until fragrant.
4. **Deglaze the Pot**:
- Pour in the rice wine (or dry sherry) to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.
5. **Add Liquid and Seasonings**:
- Return the browned pork to the pot.
- Add the soy sauce, dark soy sauce (if using), sugar, water (or chicken stock), star anise, cinnamon stick, and bay leaves.
- Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil.
6. **Simmer**:
- Once it reaches a boil, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for about 2-3 hours, or until the pork is very tender. Stir occasionally and check the liquid level, adding more water if necessary.
7. **Final Seasoning**:
- Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt, pepper, or sugar as needed.
8. **Serve**:
- Remove the pork from the pot and transfer it to a serving dish.
- Skim off any excess fat from the surface of the sauce, then pour the sauce over the pork.
- Garnish with chopped green onions and fresh cilantro.
Serving Suggestions:
Braised pork pairs wonderfully with steamed rice, noodles, or a side of sautéed greens. It’s also delicious served with a fresh, crisp salad to balance the rich flavors.
Enjoy your braised pork!
