Recipe
Cooking tips
- Onion skins contain compounds that reduce off-flavors and tenderize meat—wash them with skins on and use as-is.
- Use fresh pork belly instead of frozen to maintain tenderness and prevent dryness after cooling.
- Kombu releases sticky residue if cooked too long—remove it within 10 minutes of boiling to keep the broth and meat clean.
- The 15-minute resting period with the lid closed after turning off the heat is crucial—it traps the juices and ensures a moist, succulent result.
