Recipe 🍳
- Cut 1.2kg of pork belly or pork jowl into square shapes, then score the fatty side in a cross pattern. Scoring allows the Dongpo Pork sauce to better penetrate and adhere to the chewy fatty parts as it simmers. (A pretty presentation is a bonus!)
- Add about 4 tablespoons of cooking oil to the pan. Place the pork belly with the fatty side down first, then sear until golden brown on all sides, turning as needed. Once the surface is golden brown, remove it temporarily. Since the meat will simmer in the sauce for a long time, it will cook through. Therefore, it's sufficient to achieve a Maillard reaction and get a golden-brown color on the surface without fully cooking the inside at this stage.
- In the same pan used for searing the meat, add all the following ingredients in order to make the Dongpo Pork sauce.
- 3 cups water (based on paper cup, 540ml)
- 1 cup soy sauce (based on paper cup, 180ml)
- 1 cup cooking wine (based on paper cup, 180ml)
- 2/3 cup corn syrup (based on paper cup, approx. 120ml)
- 2/3 cup brown sugar (based on paper cup, approx. 120ml)

Cooking tips 💡
- The moisture content of the meat and vegetables differs, so adjust the heat in the middle to prevent the sauce from burning.
