Pork Bun Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Braised Pork Belly

    In a large pot, combine the soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger, garlic, and water. Bring to a simmer.

  2. 2

    Add Pork Belly

    Cut the pork belly into large chunks and add it to the pot. Ensure it's submerged in the liquid.

  3. 3

    Braise the Pork

    Cover and let it braise on low heat for about 2 hours or until the pork is tender.

  4. 4

    Shred the Pork

    Once cooked, remove the pork belly from the pot and let it cool slightly. Shred the pork into bite-sized pieces.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Steamed Buns

    Steam the buns according to package instructions until warm and fluffy.

  6. 6

    Assemble the Buns

    Place arugula, shredded pork, pickles, and sliced scallions inside each steamed bun. Drizzle with hoisin sauce and sesame oil.

  7. 7

    Serve

    Serve the pork buns warm, with extra hoisin sauce on the side.
