Chinese Braised Pork Belly
Ingredients
- 1 Lb Pork belly
- 3 Tbsp Oil
- 2 Tbsp Rock sugar or granulated sugar
- 6 Tbsp Shaoxing wine
- 2 Tbsp Soy sauce
- Tbsp Dark soy sauce
- 3 Cups Water
Instructions
- Cut your pork belly into 3/4" pieces.
- Bring a pot of water to boil and add your pork belly. Blanch for 2 minutes. Remove and set aside. This removes the impurities and starts the cooking process.
- Add the sugar and oil to a wok over low heat and melt. Add your pork, turn heat up to medium. Cook pork until it's lightly browned.
- Add the wine, both soy sauces and water to the wok. Turn the heat down to low.
- Cover the wok and simmer over medium low heat for 1 hour. Stir every 10 minutes. Add more water if necessary.
- If there is still water left after an hour, uncover and turn up the heat. Stir continuously until the pork is glistening and sticky.
- I served this with white rice, cauliflower rice, broccoli and carrots.
