Red Braised Pork Belly with Quail Eggs
Instructions
Prep:20minCook:1h 40min
I bet this red braised pork belly (红烧肉) is most Chinese people's favorite childhood dish. The savory, glossy, and sticky sauce of this dish can totally turn everyone into a RICE KILLER! Our grandparents always make the best 红烧肉! I have adjusted this recipe for years and finally perfectly duplicated my grandpa's red braised pork belly. By blanching the pork belly for 30 minutes before pan frying and pan-frying the pork belly without cooking oil, we can get rid of extra oil from the meat and make the meat extra tender.
