- 500 g pork belly sliced to 0.5 cm thick
- 1 tablespoon oil
- 1.5 tablespoon soy sauce
- 3 tablespoon rice wine
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 3-4 slices ginger
- 1.5 cup water add some more if it evaporates too much during the cooking
Pan frying - Add the oil and pork belly slices to the saucepan over medium heat, and pan fry until pork belly slices are slightly golden.
Simmering - Add soy sauce, rice wine, sugar, ginger and water, put the lid on and simmer for 20 minutes to 50 minutes (depending on how tender you want the meat to be) over low to medium heat. (Add some water if it evaporates too fast)
Caramelising - turn to high heat, take the lid off and let the liquid evaporate and thicken. Turn and mix the pork to make sure the meat is covered evenly.
- Cooking time: The simmering time can vary depending on your liking, from slightly chewing (20 minutes) to tender(40 minutes).
- Adding more flavors: This is the simplest version, but you can add oyster sauce, chili powder, or garlic.
- Serving: It goes great with rice but mixing in the pasta at the end is delicious too.
