Red Braised Pork Belly

• servings: 3 servings
• active time: 10 minutes
• total time: 1 hour 50 minutes

Ingredients

1½ lb pork belly (cut into cubes)

2 tbsp sugar

½ onion (chopped)

2 tbsp dark soy sauce

2 tbsp light soy sauce

¼ cup Shaoxing wine

Water (enough to cover pork)

Steamed greens

Rice (for serving)

Directions

Blanch your cubed pork belly in boiling water for a few minutes to remove impurities, then drain and set aside.

Add oil to your pan and add sugar, letting it melt and lightly caramelize for a few minutes.

Add your chopped onions and cook for a couple of minutes until translucent.

Add in your pork belly, dark soy sauce, light soy sauce, Shaoxing wine, and enough water to just cover the pork. Bring everything to a simmer, then cover and cook for about 1½ hours, stirring every 15 minutes to prevent burning.

Remove the lid, turn the heat to high, and continue cooking until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency and coats the pork.

Serve over a fresh bowl of rice. You can optionally serve with steamed greens.
