How to: Braised Pork Belly over Rice!

Neighbors - today, we're making Braised Pork over Rice. We'll sear a whole piece of pork belly (통삼겹살), then braise it a flavored soy sauce. In Japan, its called buta kakuni - but we take our spin on it! Throw in some garlic cloves, soft-boiled eggs and bok-choy into the soy sauce mixture. Simmer it away. Then lay the soft, tender pork pieces over some rice - and you got yourself a gourmet rice plate. Ah, you're in for a treat today!

Daniel, you and Katie always bring happiness to this Chinese man's stomach. Much love from Michigan.

I made this for my boyfriend and he totally loved it. He said he savored every bite. My assessment was that I wish I had a gas stove, because I used a cast iron pan and I really had to regulate the heat on a glass top stove. Also, I think that you have to let the eggs get to room temperature to get them to boil correctly. Mine came out too runny but again it could have been that I use a glass top stove verses a gas stove. Overall, the bowl was very really delicious and savory. The braised sauce just really made the pork belly I didn’t need to add anything. Also, it was easy to make. I 100% recommend this dish. Thank you Future Neighbor.

I'm surprised Katie didn't come in immediately you were done cooking. She always seems to have a sixth sense about that 😅😂

I love how you explain why you do the steps you do. It’s informative and I learn a lot about cooking in general from it.

As soon as you put the pork belly in the pan I thought "I bet Katie will materialise out of nowhere because it would smell so good."
This is a great recipe, thanks Daniel

You guys always make me miss Korea and it's awesome food! And you always make me so hungry! I will definitely make this dish. Keep the recipes coming! We love you! 🥰

Had double the amount of pork belly, double the amount of delicious food, still ate it all as fast as if there was only two pieces.

This sauce mixture reminds me of the Filipino adobo! But without the dashima, and we usually add tons of soy sauce and vinegar. I also like it better when the meat is seared first (it usually isn't) -- this looks great!

[arthas]

I know we live in different countries, and we're both straight dudes, but this food makes me want to move to Korea and marry you. Katie might be upset but once she sees the salmon and shellfish i can bring with me from Seattle I think she'll be cool with the marriage.

I like to throw the cooked rice into the skillet in the leftover bacon fat or a little sesame oil. Gives that dolsot nurungji vibe.

[sarahjane]

That looked way easier than what I thought it would be 😍
