Ingredients
Steps
Prepare all ingredients. The pork belly must have alternating layers of fat and lean meat. Cut the scallions into sections, slice the ginger, and peel the garlic.
Clean the pork belly and cut into large chunks. Blanch in cold water.
Boil for about 3 minutes, then remove the pork and rinse off any foam.
Cut the pork into larger pieces, about 2 cm in size.
Heat a wok without oil. Add the pork and pan-fry over low heat.
Avoid stirring too often. Use chopsticks to separate the pieces so each touches the wok. Slowly, fat will render. Flip to fry both sides.
When the pork turns golden, push it aside. Add rock sugar in the center. Once melted, add scallions, ginger, garlic, star anise, Sichuan peppercorns, and bay leaves. Stir-fry briefly.
Add cooking wine and Totole Original Flavor Premium Braised Soy Sauce. Stir until the pork is evenly coated.
Pour in boiling water to cover the pork. Bring to a boil, then simmer for at least 1 hour.
Monitor the liquid. Add more boiling water if needed. Reduce the sauce at the end, stirring to prevent sticking.
Garnish with chopped spring onions for presentation.
