Seonkyoung Longest's Japanese Ramen Chashu

A whole pork belly tied with string, seared until crisp, then gently braised in a sweet and savory soy-based seasoning for an authentic Japanese chashu

Ingredients needed 10 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Tying the pork belly tightly with twine prevents it from falling apart during cooking and ensures even, neat slices.
  • Slicing immediately after cooking will cause the meat to crumble; always refrigerate until firm before slicing.
  • Strain the leftover braising liquid and reuse it as a soy sauce tare for ramen or as a sauce for chashu don (chashu rice bowl).

Recommended for

  • Those who want to top homemade ramen with impressive pork belly chashu.
  • Those who want to make a basic meat base for various Japanese dishes like chashu don.
  • Those who love tender, smoky Japanese-style braised pork belly.
