My daughter once enquired about the fastest, easiest, and tastiest way to prepare braised pork. The fewer dishes that need to be washed, the better. She needed a recipe with braised pork that could be made by simply combining all the ingredients in a pot and letting them simmer. When I give it some thought, I realize that she would enjoy this braised port belly with radish.
Because of the ginger, garlic, dried chilli, and star anise, this meal has a lot of flavours. I like to use a lot of ginger to flavour the pork. Due to the lengthy cooking process, the ginger that has been simmered is excellent. As the meat cooked slowly over low heat. The smell of meat permeated the kitchen and was very alluring.
When the meat is done being braised!
Goodness!! It has me completely drooling. Pick up a piece of meat with a pair
of chopsticks and take a bite. Fat but not greasy. It melts in your mouth and
leaves a lingering flavour. After being cooked, the radish in particular tastes amazing. The radish adds a refreshing touch and balances the fat in the pork belly, making it a perfect match for the flavorful meat. Simple to prepare
and tasty recipe that requires little effort and cleanup. Who would not want that for a meal?
Are you drooling? This is an easy
and delicious recipe which you should have in your back pocket. One wok does
all the work. let us get all the ingredients to hand and the detailed
instruction to make a delicious, braised pork belly with radish.
I am using green radish for this dish. You may option for white radish. White radish tastes crisp and slightly spicy, while green radish is sweeter, juicy and tender. Anyway, both types are work for this braised pork dish.
You may have observed that sauce is always included in many Chinese stir-fry recipes or braised meat dishes a lot of
Chinese recipes. You may add some cornstarch solution to thicken the sauce to your preference consistency. And as an extra bonus, the cornstarch
gives the marinade and sauce a shiny sheen.
With all the ingredients ready, let's get started. I sincerely hope you find this recipe helpful and that you thoroughly enjoy these easy braised pork belly with radish!
