Ingredients

  1. 1 kgPork belly block
  2. 1 tbspGinger (grated)
  3. 1/2 stalkJapanese leek (the green part)
  4. 200 mlSoy sauce
  5. 100 ml☆ Sake
  6. 100 mlMirin
  7. 1 tbspSugar

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Cut up the pork so it will fit in the pressure cooker. Brown the pieces of meat on all sides.

  2. 2

    Put the pork in the pressure cooker, and add ginger and enough water to cover the ingredients. Position the lid on and pressurize once it starts the steam.

  3. 3

    Turn off the heat and leave to cool. When the pressure comes down, open the lid and skim off the scum. Add the ☆ ingredients, bring the pressure back up, and cook for 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and leave to de-pressurize naturally.

  4. 4

    Slice the meat. Transfer the meat and its juices to a microwave safe container with a lid, and leave in the refrigerator overnight. The next day you'll have flavorful char siu pork.

  5. 5

    Save the cooking liquid by skimming off the white fat that comes to the surface and transferring to another container. Use it in fried rice or as a simmering sauce to season boiled eggs and so forth.

  6. 6

    The char siu is great on ramen or hot somen noodles. It's melt-in-your-mouth soft!

  7. 7

    Here's some fried rice made with the char siu.
