Soy sauce meat

The production process

I took a look at the ingredients needed to make this soy sauce meat, except for the meat, and there are other ingredients at home, so I went to buy some meat first.

Because the first time I tried to buy less, I spent 80 yuan to buy three catties of pork belly with skin.

You don't need to wash the meat you bought, use a knife to scrape the skin of the meat, scrape off the dirt on it, then cut it into several large pieces, put it in a basin, pour some liquor (preferably with high liquor) to grasp the meat evenly.

Adding liquor can not only remove the fish, but also play a role in sterilization.

Add 110g of light soy sauce, 30g of dark soy sauce, 30g of sugar, some Sichuan peppercorns (you can put more) and a few star anise in a small pot, bring them to a boil, cook for a few more minutes, then turn off the heat and cool.

After cooling, add another 30g of white wine to the small pot to mix, then pour it on top of the meat together, and grasp them well with your hands, grasp and knead for a while, so that the meat is all wrapped in the marinade.

After kneading evenly, cover and marinate for about 3 days, remember to turn it several times during this period.

After three days, the marinated meat is taken out, strung with strings and hung in a ventilated place, and air-dried for 5-7 days.

I hung it on the north balcony and dried it for 7 days, this time is not fixed, mainly depending on the state, if the surface is dry to the touch, but the meat is still a little elastic when pressed.

It's been 7 days and the surface is already dry, no need to dry it anymore, take them off.

Look at the cut side of the meat, the lean part is dark red, so it's okay.

Take out a piece today and taste it, wash it several times with warm water before eating, then put it in a steamer and steam it for about 25 minutes, and cut it into slices after steaming.

In this way, you can eat it directly, it's so tempting, it's very like bacon, you can't help but taste a piece first, it won't be very salty to eat, and it has a slightly sweet taste, the meat is very chewy, very fragrant, but not old, the fat meat with skin is not greasy at all, it's really delicious.

It's also nice to stir-fry with some vegetables!

Wenzhou special soy sauce meat, salty and sweet suitable, meat and tender, fat but not greasy, compared to bacon practice is simpler, personal feeling more suitable for the taste of southerners, if you like to try it quickly, now do just in time to catch up with the New Year.
