This Chinese-style pork belly is sweet, salty, and perfectly tender. Slowly cooking the pork in a flavorful mixture of garlic, ginger, and brown sugar gives it that signature sticky-sweet glaze that pairs perfectly with salty soy sauce. Serve it over rice for the ultimate dinner and forget you ever wanted to order take-out.

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

20 oz pork belly, lean
4 cups water, plus 250 milliliters, divided
4 slices of fresh ginger
1 spring onion, cut into 2-inch (5 cm) pieces
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons light soy sauce
3 tablespoons dark soy sauce
3 tablespoons shaoxing rice wine
cooked rice, for serving
sliced green onion, for serving

Steps:

  • Cut the pork belly into roughly 1-inch (2 ½ cm) cubes.
  • Bring 1 liter of water to a boil in a pot, then add the pork, ginger, onion, and garlic, and cook for 3-4 minutes.
  • Remove the pork from the water using a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with a paper towel. Discard the remaining water and vegetables.
  • Clean and dry the pot, then return it to high heat and add the olive oil. Return the pork to the pan and cook until browned. The oil may pop and splatter, so be careful.
  • Add the brown sugar, then reduce the heat to low. Stir continuously until the sugar has melted, caramelized, and coated the pork evenly.
  • Immediately add the soy sauces and rice wine, stirring continuously for 5-6 minutes more, or until the liquid has reduced to a thick glaze.
  • Add the remaining 250 milliliters of water. Stir, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes. Make sure the mixture is at a low simmer, not boiling. Stir every 10 minutes or so, adding more water if the pot is getting dry.
  • Remove the lid. The sauce should coat the pork in a very thick glaze. If it is too runny, continue to stir, uncovered, until the liquid has reduced.
  • Serve immediately over a bowl of rice and sprinkle with sliced green onions.

Time 1h10m

Number Of Ingredients 17

1 pound pork belly, preferably boneless with skin on
1 tablespoon peanut or vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves, smashed
One 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and sliced
2 scallions, cut into 2-inch lengths
4 cups chicken Stock
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
2 tablespoons sugar
1 large piece cinnamon stick or cassia bark
2 pieces star anise
2 dried red chilies
1 teaspoon ground Sichuan pepper
1 package large steamed buns (6) or small steamed buns (12)
3 tablespoons hoisin sauce for serving
¼ cup crushed peanuts
Fresh cilantro sprigs (optional)

Steps:

  • Cut the pork belly into large pieces (2 inches in length) that are still easy to pick up with tongs.
  • Heat a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed pot over mediumhigh heat until a bead of water sizzles and evaporates on contact. Add the peanut oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add the pork and sear on all sides until lightly browned. Add the garlic, ginger, and scallions and cook briefly, for about 20 seconds, so that they become aromatic.
  • Add the chicken stock, soy sauce, rice wine, sugar, cinnamon, star anise, chilies, and Sichuan pepper. Bring the liquid to boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Cover and simmer for 40 to 50 minutes, until the pork belly is fork tender.
  • When the pork is ready, use tongs to transfer it to a cutting board and cut into 1/3-inch-thick slices. Return the pork to the braising liquid and cover to keep warm until the buns are ready.
  • Steam the buns according to package instructions. You can assemble the buns by placing a slice of pork belly on the bottom, then top it off with a small spoonful of hoisin sauce, a dusting of crushed peanuts, and a bit of cilantro. Or for a more hands-on experience for your guests, bring the individual components to the table so that all can assemble their own buns.

TAIWANESE PORK BUNS



Taiwanese Pork Buns image

I have craved for these pork buns for two years. It is a type of street food that you can find almost everywhere in Taiwan. Fortunately, I was able to find the ingredients here in the US. Making pork buns is complicated and time consuming. But once they come out from a bamboo steamer, I know it's worth it!!

Categories     Pork

Time 3h30m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

pork bun, for filling
1 lb ground pork
1/2 lb green onion, chopped
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
6 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons oyster sauce (or to taste)
6 tablespoons sesame seed oil
3 tablespoons chinese rice wine (cooking michiu)
2 teaspoons white pepper powder
pork bun, for dough
4 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 1/4 teaspoons fast rising yeast
4 tablespoons white sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1 cup luke warm water
4 tablespoons canola oil

Steps:

  • Combine all filling ingredients well. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  • In a mixing bowl, combine flour, yeast, white sugar and salt. Stir in water and form a dough. Add some more warm water if needed. Let set for 10 minutes. Add canola oil and knead until smooth, about 8-10minutes. While kneading, add some more water or flour if needed. Cover and let rise in a warm place until double, about an hour.
  • Punch down dough. Turn out onto a floured surface and divide into 15 equal pieces. Roll each piece out into a thick-centered and thin-edged circle, about 4 inches. Place about 1/2 cup filling in the center of dough. Lift edges of dough and pinch small portion around the filling until filling is sealed inside. Repeat same process for the rest of 14 buns.
  • Line bamboo steamer with non-stick baking sheet. Place buns in it and cover. Let rise in a warm place until dough doesn't bounce back when slightly press with a finger, about 40 minutes. Leave about 1 inch between each bun to rise. If you use a stainless steamer, wrap steamer lid tight with a big cloth to prevent water dripping from the lid.
  • Bring water to boil over medium-high heat and steam buns for 20 minutes. Turn off heat and open a small gap. Please do not uncover immediately otherwise buns would shrink. Wait for 10 minutes and then enjoy!
