Ingredients ▢800 g pork belly (cut into 3-4 cm thick pieces) ▢1/2 cup Chinese rice wine ▢3 tablespoon soy sauce ▢1/2 tablespoon dark soy sauce (for colouring, optional) ▢4 star anise ▢4-5 slices ginger ▢1 tablespoon sugar Instructions Parboiling — Bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Put the pork into the saucepan and boil for 5 minutes. Discard the hot water and wash the gunk off the pork with cold water. Braising — Place pork belly, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rice wine, ginger, sugar and star anise in the saucepan. Add water to barely cover the meat. Lower heat to a simmer, cover with a lid and continue braising for about 60 minutes. Caramelising — turn to high heat, remove the cover, and let the liquid evaporate and thicken. Turn and mix the pork to make sure the meat is covered evenly. You should end up with a thick, glistening sauce that covers the tender pork belly.
