Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Pork belly 200g
  • Garlic 10g
  • Lettuce 250g
  • Butter 10g

Seasonings

  • [A] Water 350ml
  • [A] Sake 2 tbsp
  • [A] Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine) 1 tbsp
  • [A] Chicken stock powder 2 tsp
  • [A] Salt 1/3 tsp
  • [A] Bonito powder 2g
  • [A] Black pepper to taste

Steps

  1. Mince 10g of garlic.
  2. Tear 250g of lettuce into bite-sized pieces. [Chef's Tip!] Tearing creates jagged edges, allowing the lettuce to absorb more soup.
  3. Cut 200g of pork belly in half.
  4. Heat a small amount of oil in an earthenware pot, then sauté the minced garlic over medium-low heat.
  5. Once the garlic is fragrant, add 350ml of water and bring to a boil.
  6. Add 2 tbsp sake, 1 tbsp Mirin (Sweet Rice Wine), 2 tsp chicken stock powder, 1/3 tsp salt, 2g bonito powder, and black pepper to taste, then add the pork belly and simmer.
  7. Once it boils and scum appears, carefully remove it. [Chef's Tip!] If you want a clear, salt-based soup, removing the scum will prevent the meat's bitterness from being noticeable.
  8. Once the simmered pork is cooked through, add a suitable amount of the torn lettuce and quickly cook it.
  9. Season with a pinch of salt if desired, and enjoy while adding the remaining lettuce as you go.
