Chinese Pork Adobo
Ingredients
Scale
- 600g pork belly, sliced then cut into squares
- 5 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tbsp canola oil
- ½ cup soy sauce, I used Silver Swan
- ½ cup white sugar
- 1 cup water
- 3 tbsp white vinegar
- 2–3 pieces star anise
- Chopped chives and sesame seeds for garnish
Instructions
- Combine sugar, soy sauce and water. Stir until sugar is dissolved and set aside.
- Heat oil in a small pot and sauté garlic until it’s a little brown.
- Throw in pork and brown on both sides. Do not add oil. Let the pork fry in its own fat.
- Pour soy sauce and sugar mixture.
- Bring to a boil then lower the heat to a simmer. Cook for 40-50 minutes.
- By this time the meat should be very tender and the braising liquid has reduced and thickened.
- Pour vinegar and simmer for a minute before stirring.
- Add the star anise and simmer for two more minutes.
- Transfer to your serving plate and sprinkle with chopped chives and sesame seeds
- Serve with steamed brown rice or Cauliflower Rice and a sprinkling of chopped chives
