An exquisite pasta dish combining oysters, pork belly, and garland chrysanthemum, popular in winter hot pots. Despite the unexpected combination, each ingredient's umami creates a synergistic effect, resulting in a simple yet profound flavor. Chef Yoshimi Hidaka presents an authentic Italian pasta dish you can enjoy at home.

Ingredients

Main Ingredients (2 servings)

  • Spaghetti 160g
  • Oysters 2 packs
  • Garland Chrysanthemum 2 bunches
  • Pork Belly 150-200g
  • Garlic a little
  • Red Chili Pepper a little

Seasonings

  • Salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • Olive Oil to taste
  • Butter to taste
  • Oyster Juice as needed

Steps

  1. Lightly strain the juice from the oyster packs with paper towels to remove any shell fragments and set aside.
  2. Lightly rinse the oysters.
  3. Separate the garland chrysanthemum leaves from the stems.
  4. Finely chop the pork belly.
  5. Transfer the pork belly to a bowl and rub in salt. (Tip: Rubbing with rice malt is recommended for even more umami.)
  6. Heat olive oil and minced garlic in a frying pan.
  7. Finely chop the garland chrysanthemum stems and roughly chop the leaves.
  8. Once the garlic is lightly colored, add the red chili pepper to release its spice. (Tip: Adjust the spice level to your preference.)
  9. Add the pork and stir-fry until crispy. (Tip: Fry the pork until thoroughly crispy to render out its fat.)
  10. Start boiling the pasta in water with 1% salt. Boil for 6.5 minutes.
  11. Once the pork is colored and has rendered its fat, add the strained oyster juice.
  12. Add the oysters and cook thoroughly for about 2 minutes.
  13. About 1 minute before the pasta is done boiling, add the garland chrysanthemum stems.
  14. Drain the cooked pasta and combine it with the sauce.
  15. Add the al dente pasta to the sauce with oyster and pork belly flavors and cook together.
  16. Gradually add the garland chrysanthemum leaves and mix. (Tip: Adding them little by little and mixing helps them incorporate better than adding all at once.)
  17. Finally, add olive oil and, if desired, 20g of butter, and toss quickly.
