Ingredients

  • 500 g pork belly, skin on, cut into 2 cm cubes
  • 3 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp Shaoxing rice wine
  • 30 g rock sugar
  • 5 slices fresh ginger
  • 2 scallions, white parts only, cut into 5 cm lengths
  • 2 star anise
  • 500 ml water
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1Blanch the pork belly cubes in boiling water for 2 minutes, then drain and set aside.
  2. 2Heat oil in a wok over medium heat, add rock sugar and stir until it melts and turns amber.
  3. 3Add the pork belly pieces and sear until lightly browned on all sides.
  4. 4Stir in ginger, scallion whites, star anise, light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and Shaoxing wine; coat the meat.
  5. 5Pour in water, bring to a boil, then reduce to a gentle simmer, cover, and cook for 1.5 hours until the pork is tender.
  6. 6Uncover, increase heat, and reduce the sauce until it thickens into a glossy glaze, turning the pork to coat evenly.
  7. 7Transfer the braised pork to a serving plate, drizzle with the remaining glaze, and garnish with sliced scallion greens if desired.
