Ingredients

Main Ingredients (4 servings)

  • Pork Belly Block 1kg
  • Ginger 1 piece
  • Garlic 10 cloves
  • Chili Peppers 10 pieces

Seasonings

  • Soy Sauce 150ml
  • Sugar 150g
  • White Sesame Oil 4 tbsp
  • Shaoxing Wine 3 tbsp
  • Water 1L

Steps

  1. Place a pot over heat and warm it up. Add 150g of Sugar and let it melt without stirring.
  2. Cut the 1kg pork belly block in half to create two pieces. Boil in plenty of water for approximately 50-60 minutes.
  3. Once the sugar has caramelized to this color, turn off the heat.
  4. While the pot is still hot after turning off the heat, add 1L of Water and stir.
  5. Return to high heat and stir well to completely dissolve the sugar.
  6. Once the sugar is dissolved, add 150ml of Soy Sauce.
  7. Add the blanched 2 pieces of Pork Belly and 1 piece of Ginger to the pot.
  8. Cover with a lid and simmer over low heat for approximately 1.5 hours.
  9. As the liquid reduces, continue to simmer for another 40 minutes, until the pork is tender enough to be easily pierced with chopsticks.
  10. In a frying pan, add 4 tbsp of White Sesame Oil and 10 cloves of Garlic.
  11. Sauté slowly over low heat to bring out the garlic's aroma, until golden brown.
  12. Add 10 Chili Peppers and sauté further to release their fragrance.
  13. Pour the braising liquid from the pork into the frying pan and bring to a boil over high heat.
  14. Add 3 tbsp of Shaoxing Wine and simmer until the sauce thickens.
  15. Plate the pork belly and generously ladle the thickened sauce over it. Serve.
