Chinese-Style Glazed Pork Belly

Discover this amazing Chinese-Style Glazed Pork Belly recipe! It is sweet, salty, flavorful, and perfect. And if you enjoy Asian flavors and love anything with soy sauce, this recipe fills the bill perfectly. Plus, it’s easy to make. The recipe yields two hefty servings though you can easily multiply to serve more people.

First, cut the pork belly into bite-size pieces. Into a pot with boiling water, place the pork along with ginger, spring onions, and garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes. Remove the pork from the pot and pat dry with a paper towel. Next, brown the pork in the oil until browned. Add sugar and once it’s melted and caramelized, add light and dark soy sauce and Shaoxing rice wine. Cook, stirring until reduced and thickened. Finally, add water and cook, covered for 45 minutes. Once the sauce is reduced to a very thick glaze and coats the pork, you can serve the pork belly over bowls of steamed rice. Garnish with sliced green onions and enjoy!

To make this savory Chinese-Style Glazed Pork Belly recipe, you will need the following ingredients:

Steps to make Chinese-Style Glazed Pork Belly

1	Boil pork belly and aromatics	5
In a large pot, bring 1 liter of water to a boil and add 20 ounces pork (cut into 1-inch cubes), 4 slices fresh ginger, 1 spring onion (cut into 2-inch pieces), and 2 crushed cloves garlic and cook for 3-4 minutes.
2	Remove pork	2
Use a slotted spoon to remove the pork from the water and drain it on a plate lined with a paper towel. Discard the water and vegetables.
3	Brown pork	5
Clean and dry the pot and return it to high heat. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil and return the pork to the pan. Cook, stirring, until browned.
4	Add sugar	2
Add 2 tablespoons brown sugar and reduce the heat to low. Cook, stirring continuously, until the sugar has dissolved, caramelized, and coated the pork evenly.
5	Add soy sauce and rice wine	5
Immediately add 3 tablespoons light soy sauce, 3 tablespoons dark soy sauce, and 3 tablespoons Shaoxing rice wine, stirring continuously for another 5-6 minutes, or until the liquid has reduced and thickened.
6	Add water	45
Add the remaining 250 milliliters of water and stir. Cover the pot with a lid and simmer for about 45 minutes. Make sure to stir every 10 minutes or as needed, adding more water if the pot is getting dry.
7	Reduce sauce
Remove the lid. If the sauce is too runny, continue to stir, uncovered, until the sauce is reduced to a very thick glaze.
8	Serve
Serve immediately over a bowl of steamed rice and sprinkled with sliced green onions.
