If you ask any Shanghainese how do they like Braised Pork Belly? They would say they SUPER CRAZY LOVE it, and I love it too, you must try it if you love Chinese food.

Braised Pork Belly

Shanghai Special Pork Belly Dish

First, I’m sorry it’s been so long since I last updated the recipe, so I’m bringing a very tasty and well-received pork dish, I hope you love it!

This dish we also called Pork Ribs with Brown Sugar and Vinegar, and you can see this anywhere in local Chinese restaurants.

If you like lean meat, you can replace the pork belly with brisket or pork shoulder. If you use other parts of pork, add oil to the wok before frying the pork.

Prep time

Cooking time

minutes

Ingredients

  • 3lbs Skinless Pork Belly

  • 1 small piece of Ginger

  • 80-100 g Slab Brown Sugar (chop them into the little piece)

  • 1/4 C Soy Sauce

  • 1/8 C Dark Soy Sauce

  • 1/4 C Water

  • Salt to taste

  • 2-3 T Vinegar, Apple Cider Vinegar, or any Chinese Vinegar you prefer

Directions

  • Rinse pork belly, drain in a colander for 10-15 minutes and then pat dry it with a paper towel
  • Cut pork belly into preferred bite-size (approx. 1”x1”x2”)
  • Preheat a wok WITHOUT oil for a few minutes (read tips #2 if using a different cut of pork)
  • Put all pork belly into a wok and let it brown for a minute or two on one side, the oil will come out from the pork belly, and the pork belly will become golden, then flip and brown, in the meantime, add a piece of ginger and continue to brown
  • After browning the pork belly for a few minutes, add brown sugar to the meat and keep stir-frying until all sugar is melted (see pic)
  • Then add soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and water, bring it to a boil, then simmer in medium-low heat for about 20 minutes or until it is tender (add oil sauce now if you have any, see tips #2 below)
  • Salt to taste if needed
  • Add vinegar and mix well, serve with rice

Notes

  • You may use pork shoulder butt or pork ribs instead of pork belly if you prefer leaner meat. You will need to add oil to cook at the beginning if using pork other than pork belly
  • As soon as the soy sauce mixture brings to a boil, turn the fire to medium-low heat and let it simmer, try not to over boiling the sauce as the soy sauce will become a little sour.
  • After cooking in medium-low heat for about 20 mins, the sauce should be thickened and darkened meaning this is done
