To make soy sauce meat, the pork cannot be washed, nor can the pork skin be seared.
To clean the pork skin, the only thing you can do is use a small knife to scrape the skin and remove the greasy dirt from the pork's pores with the knife.
Actually, besides scraping, you can also rub it with salt, but if salt is used improperly, it will cause the pork to dehydrate, resulting in dry and tough soy sauce meat.
The reason this dish is made by soaking in soy sauce and not using salt is to avoid the dehydrating nature of salt.
Soy sauce meat is different from salted meat and cured meat, the distinction also lies in the fact that it doesn't use salt to draw water, retaining more moisture in the meat, making it more tender to eat.
To prove that the method of making soy sauce meat is quite simple, Shen Jiayue also picked up a small knife to help.
