Ingredients
- 2½ lbs lean pork belly
- 6 cups + 2 cups water, divided
- 8 slices of peeled ginger
- 2 green onions, cut into 2-inch pieces
- 4 cloves of garlic, smashed
- ¼ cup brown sugar
- ¾ cup soy sauce
- 6 tbsp rice vinegar
Serve with:
- cooked rice
- green onions, sliced
Instructions
- Cut the pork belly into 1-inch cubes.
- Bring 6 cups of water to a boil in a large pot, then add the pork, ginger pieces, green onion, and garlic cloves, and cook for 3-4 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, remove the pork from the water to drain on a paper towel lined plate. Discard the remaining water and vegetables and dry out the pot. Pat the pork belly as dry as possible.
- Return the pork to the pot on the stovetop over high heat and cook, stirring often, until browned, about 3-4 minutes. Side Note: Add a little bit of oil to the pot if the pork belly is sticking.
- Add the brown sugar, then reduce heat to low. Stir constantly until the sugar has melted, caramelized, and coated the pork belly evenly.
- Add the soy sauce and rice vinegar, stirring frequently for 5-6 minutes more, or until the liquid has reduced to a thick glaze.
- Add the remaining 2 cups of water and cook. Stir, cover, and simmer for 45-50 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes. The sauce should coat the pork in a very thick glaze. If it's too runny, continue to stir, uncovered, until the liquid has reduced.
- Serve immediately with a bowl of rice. Sprinkle with green onions and enjoy.
