Recipe makes for 6 Servings
1 1/2 pounds whole pork belly
1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
2 teaspoons ground ginger
1 clove garlic, or to taste
Directions:
1. Place pork belly into a large pot, and cover with water about 1-inch above the pork. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, and simmer for 2 minutes.
2. Discard water and fill pot with fresh water about 1-inch above the pork. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook until the pork begins to soften, about 1 hour.
3. Remove the pork from the water, and place on a cutting board. Allow pork to cool for a few minutes, then slice off the thick skin and discard. Cut the remaining pork meat into 1-inch wide slices. Set aside.
4. Combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, 1/2 cup water, mirin, ginger, and garlic in a large saucepan, and bring to a boil over high heat. Add the sliced pork belly, then bring to a boil again. Reduce heat to low, and place a sheet of aluminum foil directly over the meat and sauce.
5. Simmer uncovered until the pork is tender, 30 to 45 minutes, turning the pork several times to cook evenly.
*If you can't get pork belly, pork ribs and pork tenderloin can also work!
