Chashu Ingredients

Method

Chashu Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Chashu

    In a pot, combine soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, sliced ginger, and smashed garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.

  2. 2

    Cook the Pork Belly

    Roll the pork belly tightly and tie it with kitchen twine. Place it in the pot with the simmering sauce. Cover and cook on low heat for about 2-3 hours, turning occasionally.

  3. 3

    Cool and Slice

    Once cooked, remove the pork belly from the pot and let it cool. Slice it into thin pieces.

  4. 4

    Assemble the Don

    In a bowl, place a serving of cooked rice, top with slices of chashu, sprinkle with sesame seeds, and add pickled ginger. Garnish with nori and chopped green onions.
