Braised Pork Belly


  • Author: Anna Franklin

Description

  • 1 ½ lb pork belly
  • 2 green onions, cut into large pieces
  • 3 garlic cloves, smashed
  • 2 ginger pieces about the size of a thumb
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp mirin
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp sesame oil

Ingredients

  1. Cut the pork belly into strips about 3 inches thick. Roll each strip up into a spiral and tie off with butcher’s twine.
  2. Place inside a gallon-size Ziplock bag and add the rest of the ingredients. Seal the bag trying to get out as much air as possible. Give the bag a good shake making sure all the ingredients are evenly covering the pork.
  3. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 3 hours but preferably overnight.
  4. Once the pork belly is done marinating, place the entire contents of the bag into a crock pot and cook on low for 6 hours.
  5. Once the meat is tender, strain the juices into a sauce pot and reduce it by half, creating a thick glaze. Drizzle with glaze before serving.
  6. Serve this pork with your favorite vegetable; we used fresh peas and radishes.
