on
Do you like Japanese Chashu?  I do !  It is one of my favorite ramen toppings.  Many recipes call for hours of cooking to make this delicious pork slices.  I just came up with a super easy and simple way to replicate this yummy Japanese chashu (more like cheating..LOL) in less than 30 minutes.



Ingredient:

8 pieces   Pork Belly Slices (cut into quarter inch thick)
2 Tbsp     Dark Soy Sauce
1 tsp        Japanese Mirin
1 Tbsp     Sugar
4 Cups     Water
2 pieces   Ginger
1              Green Onion 
4 Cups     Water
                Salt & Pepper

Method:

  1. Put water, ginger and onion in a pan and bring to a boil
  2. Cook the pork belly in the ginger and green onion water for about 15 minutes or until the pork belly is tender
  3. Take the pork belly out and dry with paper towel
  4. In a small bowl, combine dark soy sauce, mirin and sugar
  5. Sprinkle salt and pepper onto the pork belly, then rub the dark soy sauce mixture onto each pork belly
  6. Lay the pork belly onto a cookie sheet or baking tray
  7. Use a kitchen torch to sear both sides of the pork belly. (or you can use a grill pan) 

Japanese Chashu is DONE !
Put the Chashu slices onto your favorite bowl of ramen and meal is served !
