Cooking tips

  • For maximum sweetness and aroma, use whole garlic and chop it coarsely just before cooking rather than pre-minced store-bought garlic.
  • To prevent the meat from becoming tough or the sauce from burning, always maintain low heat after adding the sauce throughout the entire cooking process.
  • Pork belly can be substituted with other fatty cuts such as shoulder or belly pork—any cut with some marbling works well.

Recommended for

  • Those who love a strong, addictive flavor profile combining garlic’s pungent kick with natural sweetness in a savory meat side dish.
  • Home cooks seeking a tender, flavorful meat stew without complex techniques—just proper seasoning ratios and simmering time.
