Cooking tips 💡
- Adding pork to a hot pan causes it to stick easily to the bottom. Imokase’s secret trick is to put the pork and oil in the cold pan first, then turn on the heat.
- Using pork shoulder (front leg) instead of belly results in just the right amount of fat—less greasy even after cooling, with a rich, savory flavor preserved.
