When it comes to braised meat (Dongpo meat), you can't forget Su Dongpo, who pushed the cause of eating braised meat to the peak. It is because of his efforts that braised pork has been able to move from the grassroots to the upper class, from the common people's cooking pot to the literati's table. In fact, Dongpo meat, which has a long history and is famous in the north and south of the country, is, to put it bluntly, braised meat. Studying the history of braised pork, it's really hard to say when and where it came into being. However, due to Mr. Dongpo's tireless efforts, since then, braised pork has officially stepped onto the stage of history. "The price of good pork in Huangzhou is like dirt. The rich refuse to eat it, but the poor do not know how to cook it. Slow fire and little water make it beautiful when the fire is full. Come and have a bowl every morning, and you'll be too full for your family. " From this poem "eating pork" written by Su Dongpo, it is not difficult to see that Mr. Su not only "comes every morning for a bowl of delicious food", but also understands the cooking method of "slow fire, less water, when the fire is enough, it will be beautiful"

If you immerse too much, you will lose all the flavor, generally about 15 minutes. 3. The key steps of braised pork must be slow burning for more than 1 hour.
