Recipe

Cooking tips

  • The fruit and vinegar in tonkatsu sauce help tenderize the meat and elevate its flavor profile.
  • Minced ginger is essential for eliminating any porky odor—do not skip it, even in small amounts, to achieve the refined aroma characteristic of authentic chashu.
  • Slice the meat while it's still warm to preserve its juicy texture and prevent juice loss.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make restaurant-quality soft chashu rice at home affordably.
  • Fans of thick, sweet-salty braised pork belly dishes.
  • Couples or solo eaters looking to create a special meal atmosphere with a simple rice bowl recipe.
