Steps for making spicy braised pork heart：Take one fresh pork heart. Cut it open, squeeze out the internal bruised blood, wash it clean, and continue soaking until the water is clear. Drain well, add salt, mix well, and marinate overnight. Prepare scallions, ginger, star anise, and other seasonings. In a clay pot, add the star anise and other spices, salt, white sugar, clear water, cooking wine, dark soy sauce, and fish sauce. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat for a moment. Rinse the marinated pork heart clean and add it in. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat, then turn to low heat and simmer. Turn it over midway to make it more flavorful. After stewing until it is colored, poke it with chopsticks; if it can be pierced, it indicates it is cooked and tender. Turn to high heat to reduce and thicken the braising liquid, finally sprinkle a little monosodium glutamate and turn off the heat. Place on a cutting board, cut into thin slices, and arrange on a plate.
