When it comes to family banquet dishes, I believe there is nothing more suitable than sauced elbows. It is excellent in terms of texture, shape and taste. It is one of the classic dishes for family banquets and is simple to make. It’s simple and doesn’t waste any time or energy at all.

Preparation of ingredients: 1 elbow, 3 spoons of cooking oil, 5 spoons of sweet noodle sauce, 5 star anise, 5 spoons of soy sauce, 5 bay leaves, 3 slices of ginger, 2 pieces of cinnamon, 2 slices of green onions, 1 spoon of edible salt, 2 spoons of sugar .

All preparation methods: Prepare a large pot, add an appropriate amount of water to the pot, put the pork knuckles directly into the pot under cold water, wait until the water is boiled, remove all the water foam and blood foam floating on it, and then prepare a new one. Stew pot, move the elbow into it, add the stew seasoning, bring to a boil over high heat and then switch to low heat for stewing.

Turn on the heat and pour an appropriate amount of cooking oil into the pot. Turn to medium heat and start to heat the oil. Add sweet noodle sauce to 50% heat and stir-fry until fragrant. When all the fragrance comes out, turn off the heat. Pour the fried sweet noodle sauce into the elbow stew pot. , add an appropriate amount of sugar, cooking wine, and soy sauce, turn the heat from low to medium and continue to simmer for about an hour. Finally, add an appropriate amount of edible salt to taste according to personal taste, simmer again for an hour, remove and plate the sauced elbows, and everything is complete.

Of course, due to the size and meat quality of the elbows, there are certain differences in the stewing time of different elbows, so the time spent cannot be generalized. Parents can use chopsticks to determine whether the elbows are truly stewed. The standard is to use chopsticks to pierce the elbow meat. If it is very difficult to pierce the elbow meat with a chopstick, then it is considered to be perfectly stewed.
