Twice-cooked pork with soy sauce
My mother said that I liked meat when I was a child, no matter whether it was fat or lean. My mother also said that when I was over 2 years old, I always pointed to the pot and shouted "meat meat". For this reason, I have been wondering whether my mother was lying to me, because as long as I can remember, I have been a person who has never touched a little bit of fat. It was an acquired instinct to hate fat meat and was not used to the taste of fat meat. This habit remained until graduating from college.

I remember when I was a child, every time I ate, my father would help me remove the fat parts and only leave the lean meat for me. Later, this task fell to my husband. Later, now, I can slowly accept a little fat. For example, although this twice-cooked pork is pork belly, it is not too fat. I would never touch it in the past, but now I realize that the meat is still the best with fat and lean meat, and this dish will not be greasy at all. It combines garlic and soy beans, and the rice must be filled up.

    ◎ The pork belly must be boiled in advance until it is cooked by 8 minutes. After putting into the pot, the excess oil can be forced out before the meat slices can taste, otherwise the fishy smell will be very strong and affect the taste of the dish;◎ The green garlic will be easily cooked after putting into the pot, so put it in before putting in the pot, and use the heat of the meat to make the green garlic mature without having to stir fry it back and forth a lot, otherwise the green garlic will be soft and rotten and will have no taste.◎ The Pi County bean paste has been salted, so I didn't add salt to this dish. However, the saltiness of the sauce may vary, so you can taste it to see if you need more salt before serving the pot.
