Nikujaga (Simmered meat and potatoes) with Thick Cut Pork Belly Nikujaga (Simmered meat and potatoes) with Thick Cut Pork Belly
I always use this method when I make nikujaga with pork.-By browning the pork belly before boiling it, you can seal in its umami. In addition, excess fat melts off, so it's lighter in flavor and healthier too.-If too much fat comes out of the pork belly pieces, wipe some of it before Step 4 with paper towels. Recipe by Gabipo
