Step 1: Cut the pork belly into cubes about 1 cm in size. Diligent people can put cold water into the pot, boil the meat for 2-3 minutes to control the water and remove it, and the blanched meat will have few impurities when stewing.
The second step, heat the pot, pour an appropriate amount of cooking oil, half a small onion, change the knife to cut into onion strips, put it in the pot over low heat and stir-fry slowly, fry until the onion strips change color, you can use chopsticks to pick out the onion.

Step 3: Pour in the pork belly pieces and slowly stir-fry over medium and low heat to color the surface. At this time, the fat in the pork belly also leached out a lot, and friends who don't like to eat too much oil can put some oil out.
Fourth, you can add 2-3 slices of ginger, 2-3 cloves of garlic, 1 star anise and dried chili pepper to continue stir-frying. Slightly pat the garlic with a knife to release the garlic fragrance.
Step 5: After the garlic flavor is stir-fried, we start to season, release 3 spoons of soy sauce, an appropriate amount of rock sugar (1.5 spoons of white sugar), 1 spoon of dark soy sauce, and 1 spoon of cooking wine and stir-fry evenly.
Step 6: Heat the water directly in the pot, the amount of water can be concealed from the meat, and then put the boiled and peeled eggs/quail eggs into the pot, bring to a boil over high heat and turn to medium-low heat, cover the pot and simmer for 20-30 minutes.
The seventh step, when it is time to stew the meat, we put the greens, lettuce, and carrots into the pot and blanch them in water.
Step 8: After the meat is stewed and soft, we taste the taste of the soup and increase the salt as appropriate. Finally, put out the braised eggs, put the scorched onion strips into the pot, and collect the soup on high heat, don't collect the soup too dry, and keep some that can be mixed with rice to eat, which is very good. If the burnt onion strips can finally increase the flavor of the shallots in the marinade, this is the same as the scallion oil noodles.
