The practice of braised pork is very simple, but requires cooking skills.Firstly, the pork needs to be cut into pieces, and then the meat pieces should be blanched in boiling water to remove the impurities and peculiar smell in the meat, and then fished out for later use.Next, put an appropriate amount of oil in the frying pan, add ginger slices, garlic slices, cooking wine, soy sauce, sugar and other seasonings, stir-fry until fragrant, add pork pieces, stir-fry evenly, add water, boil on high heat, skim off the foam and turn to small Simmer on high heat for 2-3 hours, until the meat is rotten and the juice is thick.
