Braised Pork Belly

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Belly

    Cut the pork belly into thick slices, about 1 inch each.

  2. 2

    Sear the Pork Belly

    In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat a bit of oil over medium-high heat. Sear the pork belly slices on both sides until browned. Remove and set aside.

  3. 3

    Create the Braising Liquid

    In the same pot, add soy sauce, mirin, sake, brown sugar, ginger, garlic, and water. Stir to combine and bring to a simmer.

  4. 4

    Braise the Pork Belly

    Return the seared pork belly to the pot, ensuring they are submerged in the liquid. Cover and cook on low heat for about 2 to 3 hours, or until the meat is tender.

  5. 5

    Cool and Slice

    Once cooked, remove the pork belly from the pot and let it cool. Once cooled, slice into thin pieces for serving.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Serve the extra chashu slices as a topping for ramen or enjoy them on their own. Garnish with chopped green onions.
