Melts in Your Mouth! Tender Pork Belly Curry
cookpad.japan @cookpad_jp
I really wanted to eat meltingly tender pork belly curry.
By parboiling the pork belly slowly, it becomes meltingly tender!
Just simmer for an hour, or if that's not possible, for at least 30 minutes.
This pork belly curry is as good as the pork belly cube curry from a certain curry restaurant.
Since a lot of the fat in the pork is eliminated by browning and boiling, it's surprisingly healthy.
Although the pork is parboiled, since the boiling liquid is used too, you don't lose any of the rich flavor! Recipe by Rabupanda

- 1
Make all the ingredients ready. Besides the ingredients listed above, add spices of your choice!
- 2
Prep the pork belly first! This is important. Take the pork belly block out, and pierce it multiple times all over with a bamboo or metal skewer. This is done so that the flavors penetrate and tenderize. After piercing it all over, rub evenly with salt and pepper, and let it rest in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
- 3
Take the pork belly block out of the refrigerator and cut into large cubes. It will be cooked after this, so make the cubes rather big. Brown the pork belly cubes in a frying pan. No oil is needed! The fat of the pork belly is enough!!
- 4
Put the browned pork belly in a small pan and parboil! Add ginger to the water to remove any gaminess. It's even better if you add the green part of a leek too! Simmer gently over low heat for an hour while skimming off the scum.
- 5
Take the slow-simmered, tender pork belly out onto a plate. Let the cooking liquid cool down, then refrigerate.
- 6
While the cooking liquid is chilling, prep the vegetables. Slice the onion thinly along the grain. Cut the carrot and potatoes into large random pieces.
- 7
Melt butter (not listed) in a pan, and sauté the sliced onions. Sauté patiently, taking your time, until caramelized! If you can't wait that long, you can stop when they are lightly browned.
- 8
When the onions are browned, add carrot and potatoes and sauté lightly. Add pork belly.
- 9
Add red wine and evaporate the alcohol. Pour in tomato juice and pork cooking liquid (about 650 ml in total; top up with water if there isn't enough). If you chill the pork cooking liquid and throw away the fat that congeals on top, it's healthier.
- 10
Simmer until it comes to a boil! When it comes to a boil, turn the heat down very low and simmer for another 30 minutes! The pork belly will become fall-apart tender, so don't stir it around too much. Add instant coffee, chocolate, ginger and garlic. I recommend using bitter chocolate!
- 11
Add curry roux and simmer until dissolved. Once the roux has dissolved, take the curry off the heat and let it cool. This ensures that the flavors permeate the ingredients.
- 12
Reheat the cooled curry. Top the rice with melting type cheese, then ladle the slowly simmered curry. Done!!

Melt-In-Your-Mouth Beef Tendon Curry
This is the beef tendon curry that was on the NHK morning TV show.I recorded the daily episodes and looked forward to watching them in one go on the weekends!! I made this per my hubby's request. He watched the show with me!If you are adding potatoes, put them in at Step 8. Reduce the onions from 3 to 2 in that case.There are 3 things to remember about this recipe!1. Set the temperature on your water boiler to 50°C, and wash and rub the beef tendons well in that hot water, until the water runs clear.2. If you use the water that the beef tendons were cooked in, a lot of umami will go into your curry. If you want your curry to be light-tasting though, don't use that cooking water.3. If you use the pressure cooker twice, this beef tendon curry takes hardly any time at all. For 8 servings (1 box of commercial curry roux worth). Recipe by Masa yon
Juicy and Big Pork Belly Meat Curry Made in a Pressure Cooker
My husband'a curry has various seasonings in it, and my family all loves his "manly curry." But it takes 5 hours to make, so we can only eat it a few times a year. I studied how to get close to his curry, and became able to make it deliciously in a shor amount of time using a pressure cooker.Fat will render out of the pork belly meat when boiled, so removing properly with a paper towel before adding grated garlic and ginger will greatly reduce the calories. Adding 2 tablespoons mango chutney with the vegetables to boil will make this even more delicious. In Step 10, you can also add separately boiled potatoes. Recipe by Kanakanarinrin

Daikon Radish and Pork Belly Curry Rice
I had leftover daikon radish, so I tried putting it in curry. My husband may like this better than regular curry...? In any case, he had 3 platefuls. (That's too much!)The daikon radish is tastier cut into large pieces. The cooking time varies on the size of daikon radish pieces. The liquid in the pan will evaporate as you simmer, so add water after dissolving the curry roux.This is also delicious with ground pork. Recipe by TWOHEARTS
Meltingly Tender Beef Tendon Curry
Beef tendon that's been cooked until it's meltingly tender in a pressure cooker is so delicious. Curry with lots of chunky vegetables is good, but curry with the vegetables melted into the roux is really tasty too!The key is to properly parboil the beef tendon with ginger to remove any gaminess.

Homemade Restaurant-Style Pork Curry
Before payday, enjoy this budget-friendly and delicious pork curry made with 'pork scraps'. Even though it uses store-bought roux, it's definitely different from your usual curry. The origin of this recipe: 'Curry block meat' is often sold, but it seems scarce, tough, and expensive. I love pork curry, so I tried making a restaurant-style curry at home. Just tasting it makes you want rice!

Turnip & Pork Belly Curry Stir-fry
To preserve the texture of the turnip, I decided to stir fry rather than boiling them. The light turnips go wonderfully with the rich pork belly.● If you overcook the turnips, then they'll start to fall apart so give them a quick stir fry on high heat (don't worry if the texture seems raw).● Cook everything on high heat. Recipe by Raby

Filling Pork Cutlet Curry
Katsu curry is one of those dishes that you get sudden cravings for. This is a recipe to make when you feel like feasting.Don't forget the side dishes to accompany the curry!

Another recipe I create on my own. I love to try varieties and somehow it turn out well. Hubby said his tummy is happy and that why he reluctantly have meal outside.

Minced Meat Curry
Not requiring a long time to simmer is a great help.This time, I used a mixture of ground beef and pork, but you can use whatever minced meat you like. It's nice with mushrooms, too. In Step 2, if you have time, it's best to brown the onion. If you do so, you don't need to use honey. I didn't have much time, so I used it. For 5-6 servings. Recipe by Shampoo hat

Chinese-Style Pork Curry with Winter Melon
Chinese-style pork curry with winter melon is quite hard to find these days, but it's actually very easy to make. It requires few ingredients and has a mild Chinese flavor, unlike the more intense Thai curries. It's not spicy, but has a fragrant curry powder aroma and a rich taste. Serve it over rice with pickled cucumber salad, Chinese sausage, and soft-boiled eggs. Some people also add dark soy sauce. It's so delicious, you might finish the whole pot without realizing it.

Tenderest Beef Curry
I was looking for something different to do with a roast I had in the freezer and this didn't disappoint. I borrowed a technique from Kenji Lopez-Alt in caramelizing the onions. Adding the water allows the Maillard reactions (responsible for browning) evenly and without burning the onions, resulting in sweet, savory onions. I used top sirloin, but you can use any large roast for this recipe, chuck might actually stand up better to the low, slow cooking. Try to use the freshest spices you can scrounge up!
Green Curry with Pork Balls
I set a goal to make it myself. I wanted to eat both pork balls and rich green curry with tender Thai eggplants, so I combined them to feel like a green curry with fish balls but without the fishy taste. 🐷💚

Pork and Sugar Tomato Fruit Curry
When we eat curry, my family regularly has beef or seafood curry, but this is not a well-simmered curry, so I was able to make a delicious curry using pork bits without it falling apart.I think this is tasty even with cherry tomatoes if you don't have sugar tomatoes. Of course, regular tomatoes are ok! Potatoes soaked with the flavor of the curry are also delicious, but you can enjoy the taste of the curry itself if you don't add them in, so hold off on them! If you follow the directions written on the curry box or package faithfully (amount of water etc.), then you can make delicious curry. For 6 servings. Recipe by Kyasarintei
Super Easy and Scrumptious Dry Curry

Curry Flavored Pork Rice Bowl with Leftover Mango Chutney
I always have mango chutney left over after I make soup curry."I should use it up!" , I thought, and used it on the pork rice bowl that I normally make.... yet it was not quite as delicious as I had hoped. So I added some curry powder and it came out great. I guess the chutney doesn't really work without a curry flavor.If you dislike the bitterness of the spinach, cut the spinach into desirable lengths, soak in water for about 2 to 3 minutes, and drain really well.You may not notice the bitterness after this.

For a long time now there would be times where I'd drink way too much Pepsi. I found some recipes that went well with Pepsi so I came up with one that was more my style.I added lemon to a curry fry that I've been making for a while.Making without using red chili pepper should make it more palatable for kids.
