Japanese-Style Stewed Pork Chunks instructions
- Take the pork belly meat out of the fridge, and warm to room temperature (30 minutes~11 hours). You don't need oil if using a Teflon frying pan, cook over a medium heat until it turns golden brown evenly..
- The fat will render out during cooking, so cook while wiping the excess grease with a paper towel. Once it has turned golden brown, rinse the fat off quickly with water, and transfer to a pot. Add in A, and stew for 1 1/2 hours..
- It is ready to go once you can poke a toothpick through cleanly (this cooks in 20 minutes in a pressure cooker). Let it sit as-is overnight. The fat will harden as shown in the picture below..
- Cut off the hardened fat from the pork with a knife. Cut the pork into easy-to-eat portions (cut each piece into sixths), and add to the pot..
- Put the boiled broth onto the stove and turn it on, add half of the soy sauce, bring it to a boil and then reduce to a low heat, and stew for 20 minutes. Add the sugar and remaining soy sauce, and stew for an additional 20 minutes..
- Check the taste, and adjust by adding water if the taste is too strong. Top with Japanese mustard, and cover with the sauce and the ingredients stewed in the sauce..
