Instructions
Sauce
- Place all the sauce ingredients in a bowl. Mix well and set aside for at least 30 minutes, if possible. This will help deepen the sauce flavor.
Prep green onions
- Slide the green onions long. Slice the green onion bulb in half and all the way down the long strands. Cut the halves in half again length-wise to make long strips.
- Place the green onions in a large bowl. Fill with water. *Optional, add a splash of vinegar and sugar. This will soften a bit of the very sharp flavor from the green onion.
Pre-season meat
- Place pork belly in a medium-sized bowl
- Add in mirim, and sprinkle black pepper. Mix well.
- Add in the corn starch. Mix well so the meat is well coated.
Cook
- Heat a large frying pan with 2 Tbsp of cooking oil and the chopped green onions over medium heat.
- Once the green onion softens and becomes aromatic, add in the pork belly. Continue to cook until the meat is nicely browned on the outside. Continue to stir.
- Pour the sauce over the meat and continue to stir. Continue to stir-fry until the sauce has slightly thickened and the meat edges are crisp; 1-2 minutes.
Plate
- Lay the long green onions strips on a plate. Top with the pork belly. Enjoy!
