Half a piece of boiled pork belly (suyuk)

2 tablespoons oyster sauce

Adequate amount braising soy sauce (or regular soy sauce)

Adequate amount oligo syrup

2-3 baby bok choy

Recipe

Score the fat and skin of the boiled pork belly at close intervals.
Place the pork belly skin-side down in a preheated pan without oil and start searing.
Using the rendered fat, sear all sides of the pork evenly until golden brown and crispy.
In a bowl, mix 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, braising soy sauce, and oligo syrup. Taste and adjust saltiness and sweetness. If too salty, dilute with a little water.
Pour the prepared sauce into the pan with the seared pork and braise over medium-low heat.
Flip the pork occasionally to ensure even coating, and braise until the sauce becomes sticky and glossy.
Arrange halved baby bok choy on a plate, place the braised pork on top, and drizzle with remaining sauce.

Score the skin of boiled pork belly, then sear all sides in a pan until golden and crispy.
Mix oyster sauce, braising soy sauce, and oligo syrup to season, then pour into the pan.
Braise over medium-low heat until the sauce thickens, then serve with baby bok choy.

Cooking tips

Do not braise over high heat; the sauce will burn before it penetrates the meat. Always use low or medium-low heat.
If the sauce is too salty, don't reduce the soy sauce; instead, add a little water to adjust both volume and seasoning. This makes cooking easier.
