How to make bacon delicious?

No matter what you eat, you can eat and buy it all year round, but after the winter solstice every year, you still want to pickle some wax goods as usual. Perhaps, this is also the sense of ceremony of many people at the end of the year.

let's talk about how to cure bacon!

Some people just put salt, white wine and a little pepper in the cured meat for a few days, and then dry it in a ventilated place for 1-2 weeks. The bacon made by this method is natural and refreshing, which is considered as simple and rough bacon. Personally, I prefer the colored and heavy bacon that is dried after being salted with soy sauce.

Take 1 kg of meat as an example. You can choose pork belly or pork hindquarters. Personally, I prefer to use pork belly to cure meat, which is fat and thin, and it will be more refreshing when you eat it later.

1. Cut the pork into whole pieces, and scrape the skin twice with a knife. If there is pig hair, clean it. (It's best not to wash the bacon with water, which many people will ignore.)

2. Take a clean pot, pour a whole packet of salt, add a handful of pepper, a few dried red peppers, put fragrant leaves and star anise and stir-fry together to make spice salt.

3. Rub the meat strips with white wine first, then rub the whole meat with spice salt, put it neatly into a big pottery jar or basin, put some onion and ginger on the meat strips, marinate for 2-3 days, and then pour out the marinated juice. (The meat treated in this way can not only remove the peculiar smell of the pork itself, but also make the meat more compact)

4. Punch a hole in one end of the meat strips with a sharp knife, then put on a rope, hang them one by one and put them in the shade for a day to make their surfaces drier.

5. Take a large pot, pour a bottle of yellow rice wine, a bottle of soy sauce, a bottle of soy sauce, and half a catty of white sugar, then add some onion ginger, dried red pepper, pepper and cinnamon, and boil them together until they are saccharified. Continue to cook for about 5 minutes, turn off the heat, take out onion ginger, and then let them cool to make sauce water.

6. Take out the dried meat strips in step 4, put them in a big pot, pour the sauce water cooked and cooled in step 5, marinate for about 3 days, take them out and hang them in a cool and ventilated place for 1-2 weeks. (Remember to turn it over from time to time when pickling to make it marinate more evenly)

In this way, the bacon will be marinated. When you eat it, steam it first and then slice it. It is delicious to eat it directly. It is also delicious to cook with it, and it is also good to cook bacon rice. I steamed and cut it casually. Look, is it delicious?
