Recipe by Good EatNZ from allrecipes.com

Dinner 2 Hr. 15 Mins.

Ingredients

6

6 servings

  • 1 pound raw pork belly
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 0.25 cup light soy sauce
  • 0.25 cup dark soy sauce
  • 0.5 cup Chinese rice cooking wine
  • 3.5 ounces Chinese rock sugar
  • 1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
  • 8 spring onions, sliced

Instructions

  • Slice pork belly into 2-inch wide strips. Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and stir in pork slices; reduce heat to a simmer, and cook the meat for 10 minutes. Remove from the water and blot dry with paper towels.
  • Heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat in a large wok. Brown pork strips well on all sides. Pork will splatter — use a splatter shield for this step.
  • While pork is browning, mix together light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rice wine, rock sugar, ginger, and spring onions in a large soup pot or stockpot. Bring the mixture to a boil, stirring to dissolve sugar. Reduce heat to a gentle simmer and lay the pork strips into the liquid. Cover, and simmer until the meat is very tender, 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Add water as needed to keep the liquid from going completely dry.
