cooking, creating flavor-permeated meat. While the recipe has a couple of steps, it can

be completed while your doing other things. It keeps well and is even better the next

because it is not eaten. The count will also be lower if the sauce is not eaten.

lbs. boneless pork belly

Tbsp. vegetable oil

cup milk

1/2 oz fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced

1/2 cups dashi or chicken stock

a very thin stream of cold tap water pour into the pot to cool the pork. Let the water

trickle into the pork for 20 minutes. Drain the pork and remove the ginger.

to a boil and turn down to a simmer, partially covered with a lid. Simmer for 15 minutes.
