Solo Cooking God's Gwari Pork Belly Stew

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Adding gwari chili peppers too early will make them soggy and lose their vibrant color—always add them just 30 seconds before the dish is complete to maintain their crisp texture.
  • Including tonkatsu sauce enhances the umami depth and adds a tangy sweetness that makes this dish far more flavorful than a standard soy-based stew.
  • If using regular thin-cut pork belly, there's no need to sear it whole—simply quickly grill both sides and chop with scissors before adding to the sauce for easier preparation.

Recommended for

  • Those looking to elevate their usual grilled pork belly routine into a standout main dish.
  • Fans of sweet-and-salty stews paired with the crunchy, spicy kick of gwari chili peppers.
