How to Cook Delicious Chinese Braised Pork

Step 1: Prepare the ingredients

First, after choosing the delicious meat, you can soak it in diluted saltwater, then rinse it with cold water and drain it. Then, cut the meat into bite-sized pieces, making sure to include the skin, fat, and meat.

Next, peel and wash the dried shallots and garlic, then finely chop them.
