03:08 Making Chashu Sauce
04:31 Frying the Crispy Pork!

Ingredients (One roll)

– 1 Pork Belly Block (it should be big enough to roll and have a nice layer of fat)
– 1 Ginger Root Chopped
– 3-5 peeled garlic cloves
– 2-3 stems of Japanese Negi or Green Onion

Chashu Sauce:
– 100ml cooking sake
– 100ml mirin
– 4 tbsp sugar
– 250ml soy sauce
– 500ml water
– 500ml water from the boiled pork
– ½ chopped onion

How to Make:

– Start off by preparing your pork belly, remove any moisture with a paper towel and cut off any uneven parts. Prick both sides with a fork and make thin slices down the non-fatty part of the belly.
– Roll the pork belly up tightly so the side with the least fat is in the middle
– Tie up the pork with kitchen twine – make one knot on the end of the pork and then make a circle with your hand – pull the pork through and tighten the string – repeat this step down the pork and tie off a tight knot at the end. Then tie the twine around the length of the pork a few times before making another tight knot.
– Fill a saucepan with enough water to cover the pork and bring to a boil – drain the pork in a sieve and wash away any impurities/bitterness from the pan and the pork (this will give you a better tasting chashu in the end)
– Put the pork back in a saucepan with ginger, garlic, and the green stems of Japanese negi (green onion) – bring to a boil and simmer for 90 minutes. You can place a piece of kitchen towel over the pork to make sure it doesn’t overflow and if the liquid evaporates too quickly – re add more water as necessary. (Make sure to save 500ml of this liquid for later)
– Once 90 minutes has passed, remove the pork and prepare a saucepan for the chashu sauce
– Add the cooking sake and mirin – and burn away the alcohol, once the alcohol has burned away, add the sugar and stir.
– Once the sugar had dissolved, add soy sauce, 500ml of water and 500ml of the your saved liquid from boiling the pork and then add the pork
– Let that simmer for 40 minutes, turning every 10 minutes.
– Once 40 minutes has passed, take out your pork and save the sauce.
– In a frying pan – cook the edges of your pork until nice and crispy – take out the pork – and add 2 large ladle-fulls (or enough to coat your pork) of your sauce to the fry-pan. Cook on a low heat until it thickens up.
– Coat your pork in this sauce and let rest. Enjoy your chashu with ramen or by itself!
