Slow-Cooked Red Braised Pork Belly image

This is one of the most common Chinese household dishes. You almost never find this dish in restaurants because it takes a long time to cook and because it is gloriously fatty. Serve with steamed rice and your choice of vegetable.

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 ½ pounds pork belly, cut into bite-size pieces
¼ cup vegetable oil
3 tablespoons brown sugar
¼ cup dark soy sauce
¼ cup Shaoxing rice wine
¼ cup light soy sauce
4 scallions, halved
4 slices fresh ginger
4 star anise pods
water to cover
½ (8 ounce) package vegetarian chicken substitute, diced
6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil. Add pork belly; cook until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Drain.
  • Heat vegetable oil and brown sugar in a wok or large skillet over medium heat until sugar is melted. Add pork; cook until browned on all sides, about 2 minutes. Add dark soy sauce; cook and stir until flavors combine, about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer pork mixture to a slow cooker. Add rice wine, light soy sauce, scallions, ginger, and star anise. Pour in enough water to just cover the pork.
  • Cook on Low until pork is tender, about 6 hours. Add diced chicken substitute, hard-boiled eggs, and more water to cover.
  • Cook on Low until eggs absorb cooking liquid, rotating halfway through, about 1 hour more.
