A simple yet incredibly satisfying dish where pork belly and Manganji green peppers are braised with just three seasonings: cooking sake, soy sauce, and sugar. This dish is hearty and filling in a short amount of time, and it tastes just as delicious the next day as it does when freshly made.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Pork Belly 300g - 400g
  • Manganji Green Pepper 6 pcs
  • Green Onion a little (thinly sliced)
  • Ginger a little (thinly sliced)
  • Garlic a little (thinly sliced)

Seasonings

  • [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 3 tbsp
  • [A] Soy Sauce 5 tbsp
  • [A] Sugar 5 tbsp
  • Sesame Oil 1 tbsp
  • Water enough to cover

Steps

  1. Cut the pork belly into thumb-sized pieces.
  2. Cut the Manganji green peppers into thumb-sized pieces.
  3. Thinly slice the green onion, ginger, and garlic separately.
  4. Place the pork belly (300g - 400g) in a frying pan and stir-fry over medium heat. (Key Tip!) Stir-fry, allowing the pork belly to release its fat and char well, by keeping it in close contact with the pan.
  5. Once the pork belly is browned and has released its fat, add the thinly sliced green onion (a little), ginger (a little), and garlic (a little) and stir-fry to release their fragrance.
  6. Continue by adding the cut Manganji green peppers (6 pcs) and stir-fry, ensuring the fat from the pork coats everything.
  7. Add [A] Cooking Sake (Rice Wine) 3 tbsp, [A] Soy Sauce 5 tbsp, and [A] Sugar 5 tbsp to the pan, mix everything together, and stir-fry until you can smell the fragrant aroma of the soy sauce and sugar caramelizing.
  8. Add water until the ingredients are just covered, then cover with a lid and simmer over medium heat for 7-8 minutes.
  9. Remove the lid, increase the heat, and simmer while stirring until the sauce thickens to a glossy consistency. (Key Tip!) Achieve a natural thickness by letting the fat from the pork coat the ingredients, without using any thickeners like potato starch.
  10. Once the sauce has thickened, drizzle in Sesame Oil 1 tbsp for finishing, mix well, and it's ready!
