Ingredients needed 🛒2 servings
- pork belly 500g
- potatoes 3 (medium size)
- cola 2 cups (using paper cup measurement)
- soy sauce 3 tablespoons
- sugar 2 tablespoons
- chicken stock or beef dashi 0.5 tablespoon
- green chili peppers 1–2
- sesame oil 1 swirl
- toasted sesame seeds generously
Recipe 🍳
- Cut pork belly and potatoes into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- Place all pork belly in a pan, spread evenly, and sear on both sides until deeply browned.
- Once a good crust forms on the pork, pour in 2 cups of cola to tenderize the meat.
- Add soy sauce 3 tablespoons, sugar 2 tablespoons, chicken stock (or beef dashi) 0.5 tablespoon, and place all prepared potatoes into the pan.
- Chop 1–2 green chili peppers roughly and add them to cut through richness. Once the liquid starts boiling, reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until potatoes are fully cooked.
- When potatoes are done, increase heat to high and reduce the cola sauce until thick and sticky. Finish by drizzling with sesame oil and sprinkling toasted sesame seeds.
- Sear pork belly on both sides until deeply browned in a pan.
- Add 2 cups cola, soy sauce, sugar, chicken stock, potatoes, and green chili peppers; bring to a boil.
- Simmer covered over medium-low heat until cooked through, then finish with high heat to thicken the sauce, and garnish with sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds.
Cooking tips 💡
- Adding cola not only removes pork’s gamey smell but also tenderizes the meat and gives it a glossy, appetizing brown color, enhancing the overall depth of flavor.
- Including green chili peppers helps balance the sweetness and richness of the dish for a cleaner, more harmonious taste.
- Check seasoning at the end and adjust to your preference using soy sauce and sugar for the perfect sweet-salty balance.
