Spring Cabbage and Pork Belly with Miso
- 300 grams Thinly sliced pork belly
- 1/2 Spring cabbage
- 1 White part of a Japanese leek
- 2 Green pepper (or paprika)
- 1 knob Ginger (minced)
- 1 knob Garlic (minced)
- 3 tbsp Miso (I recommend sweet)
- 3 tbsp Sugar
- 2 tbsp Oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Sake
- 1 tsp Doubanjiang
- 2 tbsp Oil (for frying)
- I used thick pork belly for yakiniku.
- Thin pork belly slices or any meat variety works too.
- Cut the meat in half and boil.
- Mix all the ingredients.
- Wash the cabbage and tear the leaves by hand.
- The right one is spring cabbage.
- It's soft and delicious.
- Diagonally cut the white leek.
- Cut the green pepper into 5 mm lenghthwise.
- Heat a deep frying pan with oil and add the ginger and garlic.
- Cook over low heat until fragrant.
- When fragrant, add the leek and green pepper, and cook over medium heat.
- When everything is cooked, add the cabbage and when it's half cooked, add the boiled pork.
- Once you stir the pan, add the ingredients.
- The sauce is rather sweet, so I recommend you add doubanjiang to your liking.
- Cook until the sauce is slightly reduced.
- I received feedback from users that using red miso would make the dish saltier.
- In Ehime prefecture, we use wheat miso, which is paler in color (although it is still different from white miso).
- I recommend using blended miso.
