The most common way to eat pig head is to braise it, cut it into slices, and eat it with seasonings. In fact, there are many ways to cook pig's head. The taste of braised pig's head is very good and it is also very simple to cook. You can make it at home. Next, let's take a look at the method and recipe of braised pig's head.

Materials

5 jin of half a pig's head, 3 sections of green onion, 3 large slices of ginger, 2 star anise, 2 dried chilies, about 15 crystal sugars, about 15 peppercorns, 1 section of cinnamon, 3 hawthorns, 2 tablespoons each of dark soy sauce and seafood soy sauce, 5 tablespoons of bean paste

Basic approach

1. Put the pig head in cold water, add 1 tablespoon of cooking wine and boil it. Boil for 3-5 minutes. Take it out and remove the exposed pig hair with tongs. (Fortunately, the pig head I bought was cleaned up fairly well, with only some pig hair at the base of the ears) Use a knife to remove the bones little by little along the teeth. You don't have to remove the bones. I saw that the pig teeth were black and uncomfortable, so I pulled out the teeth. Remove the bones along with the hair.

2. Put the pork head into the pressure cooker and add all the seasonings.

3. Add clean water. The water level should be level with the meat. My pot is 5 liters, and it's very difficult to stuff all this meat into it. In the end, a part of it was still exposed.

4. Press for 20 minutes.

5. After taking it out of the pan, wrap the meat with tin foil while it is still hot.

6. Take it out and slice it when eating. Isn't it a level higher if you make the pig's head into various shapes like elbows? The taste is no worse than pork elbow.

Tips:

Soak the pig's head in cold water for three to five hours to remove the blood. Change the water midway. After the blood is removed, the pig head is blanched frequently before being made into sauce.
