Braised Pork Belly

This is what I made . . . "chashu" pork. The plan is to slice and eat it in ramen.  

The recipe is from Just One Cookbook. The pork belly came from Costco.



Roll and tie up the pork. Sear on all sides and add the following (I made double recipe):

• 1 lb pork belly block (454 g)
• 1 Negi/Long Green Onion (Sub: 1 leek or 2-3 green onions)
• 1 knob ginger
• ½ Tbsp neutral flavor oil (vegetable, canola, etc)
• ½ cup sake (120 ml)
• ½ cup soy sauce (120 ml)
• 1 cup water (240 ml)
• ⅓ cup sugar (75 g, 5 Tbsp)

Simmer on low for 2 hours.  Rest the chashu overnight before slicing.
