Cooking tips 💡

• Use pork cuts with some marbling like belly or shoulder for a richer, deeper broth flavor.
• For best results, serve the finished stew over rice, topped with a fried egg and sesame seeds, then mix everything together.
• If the broth lacks depth, add a small amount of dashi powder (about 1/2 tablespoon) to enhance umami.
• If pork is unavailable, substitute with canned tuna or spam. For extra spiciness, add green chili peppers.
