Simmered Pork Belly - Surprisingly Easy

• 250 grams 1 block of pork belly
• 1 Scallion
• 1 Katakuriko
• 1 Vegetable oil
• 250 ml Water
• 2 tbsp Sake
• 1 1/2 ~2 Sugar
• 2 to 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tsp Grated ginger
• 2 Boiled eggs

1. Cut the white part of the scallion diagonally (Save the green part, since you'll use it later!)
2. Cut the pork belly in 3 cm pieces, and coat with katakuriko.
3. Put vegetable oil in a pan, add the pork, and brown on both sides.
4. (About 5 minutes over low-medium heat.)
5. Put the pork and the green part of the scallion in a pot, and add enough water to cover the pork.
6. Cover with a lid and boil for 1 hour over low heat.
7. Put the ingredients marked in a separate pot, and bring to a boil.
8. Add the white part of the scallion and the pre-boiled pork.
9. Cover with a drop lid/otoshibuta made of aluminum foil or parchment paper, and a lid.
10. Simmer over low heat for 1 hour.
11. After 30 minutes, add the boiled eggs, and turn over the pieces of pork.
12. Check the seasoning occasionally while cooking, and adjust to your taste.
13. When the meat and eggs have turned brown and the sauce has reduced, it's done!
14. If you make it ahead of time and let it cool, the flavor is absorbed well.
15. Reheat before serving.
