Rafute (Braised Okinawan Pork Belly)

Summary

Yield
4 Servings

Ingredients

1 1⁄2 pound
of boneless, skin-on pork belly (approximately 1 inch thick)
2 1⁄2 cups
dashi or chicken stock
1⁄2 cup
awamori or other sochu (or sake)
1⁄2 cup
dark brown sugar
1  
inch piece of ginger (peeled and thinly sliced)
3 tablespoons
shoyu
   
Salt (as needed)

Instructions

  1. In a wide heavy gauge pot, place the pork belly, a tablespoon of salt and enough cold water to cover the pork by 1 inch. Bring the water to a full boil, skimming and cooking for 1 minute. Discard the liquid, rinse the pork .
  2. Place the pork back in the pot, after cleaning, and add in the stock, awamori, brown sugar, ginger and shoyu. Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce to a low simmer. Continue to cook until the pork is very tender and the fat is gelatinous.
  3. Raise the heat to medium and continue to cook, continually braising the pork until the sauce thickens, glazes the pork and is glossy.
