Instructions

Blanch to remove impurities

Blanch pork belly cubes in boiling water 5 min. Rinse, scrub the skin clean. Pat dry.

Slow-braise until trembling(2h 40m)

Layer scallions and ginger at bottom of a pot. Place pork skin-side down. Add Shaoxing wine, soy sauces, rock sugar, and enough water to barely cover. Bring to boil, then reduce to lowest simmer. Cover and cook 2.5 hours, flipping once at halfway. The meat should tremble when you shake the pot.
