Braised pork is a kind of home-made dish with complete color, fragrance and taste. It tastes soft and waxy, with bright red color. Although it's home-made, many friends can't master the good practices, which leads to the cooked pork tastes woody and not soft and rotten. Let's share the specific practices and details.

Step5:Stir fry with sugar, then put into the meat and stir quickly. Evenly wrap with sugar.
Step6:Add the hot water without meat. Add the scallion knot, star anise and ginger slices. Bring to a boil. Cover the pot and simmer for 45 minutes. Hot water must be added here. Cold water can also easily lead to firewood.
