Ingredients:
Pork belly 960 g
Seasoning:
Rock sugar 15 g (1 tbsp)
Black bean soy sauce or oyster sauce 3 tbsp
Mirin 2 tbsp
Water 690 g (3 cups)
Shaoxing wine 3 tbsp
Garlic 45 g
Star anise 4 g
Fried shallots 3 tbsp
Method:
1. Fry the pork belly briefly in oil.
2. Put all the seasoning and the pork belly in a pan, making sure the liquid covers the meat.
3. Bring to the boil, then turn the heat down and cook for about 90 minutes, until the sauce thickens. (Watch it closely as the liquid reduces, so it does not catch.)
