Stewed Pork with Kelp

Stewed Pork with Kelp

　　Ingredients: 400g lean pork, 600g soaked kelp, 100g soy sauce, 5g cooking wine, 4g salt, 7g sugar, 2 star anise, 15g scallion segments, 7g ginger slices, 8g sesame oil.

　　Preparation: 1. Wash the meat, cut into 1.5cm cubes about 0.5cm thick; wash and cut the scallions into segments; slice the ginger; wash and clean the kelp, boil in hot water for 10 minutes, then cut into small pieces for later use.

　　2. Heat the sesame oil in a wok, add the sugar and stir-fry until caramelized. Add the pork cubes, star anise, scallion segments, and ginger slices, and stir-fry until the pork is lightly browned. Add soy sauce, salt, and cooking wine, stir briefly, then add water (enough to just cover the meat). Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer until the pork is about 80% tender. Add the kelp and continue stewing for about 10 minutes until the kelp is flavorful. Serve.

　　Features: The kelp is crisp and fragrant, the pork is tender and soft. This dish is highly nutritious. Kelp is rich in iodine, calcium, phosphorus, and iron, which help promote bone and teeth development, making it an excellent dietary food for children. It can also help prevent iron-deficiency anemia in children. Stewed Pork with Kelp offers even higher nutritional value and is suitable for young children.
