      梅菜扣肉原属粤菜中的客家菜，在各地广为流传 虽然做法有许多变化  尤其是里面的梅菜，香味神奇，用广东的梅菜是一种味道，用绍兴霉干菜又是一种味道 但都离不开两个字“好吃”！ 中国人的智慧表现在食物制作上，真是无与伦比。

 

1、选一块外形完整的五花肉，放到冷水锅里，水要没过猪肉，烧开后转中火煮5-8分钟，然后关火加盖焖30分钟以上，直到用筷子很轻易穿过肉块，而且没有血水渗出。

2、取出放凉，用厨房纸擦干，用一个专门的工具在肉皮上戳洞，没有这个工具你可以用竹签代替，戳过之后肉块一般还会出水，继续擦干，要始终保持肉块的外皮干燥。

3、在猪皮上刷一层红醋 ，（也可以用别的醋代替）。放几分钟让肉皮吸收。

4、然后在锅里倒入足够的油，油量要足够浸泡到猪皮，油温还不热时就把肉块皮朝下放进去，一定要马上盖上盖子，因为锅里的有会不停的爆溅，记住用中等偏低的火煎猪皮 3分钟。不要随便打开盖子，直到关火并确定锅里的油不会溅出来。

5、煎到猪皮金黄酥脆，如果没有到位可以再煎。取出来放凉。

 

6、把霉干菜 用水浸泡30分钟，然后清洗，要多洗几遍，因为可能有沙子，然后用手挤干水分备用。

7、炒锅里放1汤匙油，把蒜头煸香，再把洗过的霉干菜，下锅翻炒，加入调味料（老抽1汤匙、料酒2汤匙、糖2汤匙、盐1/2茶匙、鸡汤1/2杯）炒匀备用。

8、把凉好的五花肉切片，再把大芋头去皮，也切成与肉片差不多大小的片。

9、然后用一个大碗，把肉片皮朝下，与芋头片一起摆放进去，再把炒好的霉干菜 码在上面。放入高压锅，气阀响起后转中火煮30-40分钟。或者用普通蒸锅蒸到酥烂，约需1个半到2个小时。

10、蒸好后把碗里的汤汁先倒到锅里，再把整个碗倒扣在盘子上，取走碗，再把汤汁收浓，可以用很少量的水淀粉（水加淀粉）帮助收浓，浇在肉上。

 

Select a piece of nicely shaped pot belly meat, place into a cold water pot, make sure the water covers over the meat. after the water starts to boil, cook on medium heat for 5-8minutes then turn off the heat and let it heat on the remaining heat for 30 minutes or more until a chopstick can be easily stick through with no blood water seeping out. 

 

Take out the meat to chill and while dry with some kitchen towel, use a special tool to poke holes in the pork belly skin, if you don't have this tool you can use skewers instead, after poking the meat water will continue to seep out, keep trying with some kitchen towel and make sure the surface of the meat is dry at all times

 

Brush on a layer of red vinegar on the pork belly skin and let it sit a few minutes to soak in, you can substitute for other vinegars

 

Pour enough oil into the pot to cover the pork skin, when the oil is semi hot, place the meat skin side down and immediately cover the pot because the oil will be splashing violently for about 3 minutes, keep in mind to keep the heat on medium low .the fried pork skin will be golden and crispy, if that's not achieved, continue to fry until it has done so. take out and set to chill w heat and do not open the cover throughout until the heat is turned off. 

 

Soak the dried cabbage for 30 minutes in some water, wash clean several times because there might be some sand in it. wring it dry and set aside

place 1 tablespoon of oil in a pot and add in some garlic and let it cook until fragrant, add in the washed fried cabbage and stir. add in the seasonings(1 tbsp dark soy sauce/2 tbsp cooking wine/2 tbsp sugar）/ 1/2 tsp salt/  1/2 cup chicken broth ) and set aside

Slice the chilled pork belly meat and skin some large taros into similar sized slices as the pork

 

Take out a large bowl and place the meat slices meat side down and add in the taro slices, place the dried cabbage on top place in a pressure cooker and cook until the pressure valve sounds, then turn it down to medium heat and cook for 30-40 minutes, or if you are using a normal pot, cook for about 1 and a half to 2 hours 

 

After it's done steaming place the sauce from the bowl into a pot then place the entire pot upside-down onto a plate, remove the bowl on top. reduce the sauce in the pot then add in a very small amount of water mixed together with corn starch, pour this sauce over the meat
