Stewed Pork Chunks, Rafutee-style
- 500 grams Pork belly meat (block)
- 90 ml Awamori (Strong Okinawan liquor)
- 3 tbsp Brown sugar
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Mirin
- 1 piece Ginger
- 1 stalk Japanese leeks (green portion)
- 3 Boiled eggs
- Cut the pork belly meat into large bite-sized pieces.
- Cook in a frying pan on both sides without grease, and wipe rendered fat with paper towels.
- Using the same frying pan, boil the meat to remove even more grease.
- It should take about 10 minutes.
- Add meat, ginger, Japanese leeks, and water to the pot, and boil over a low heat for 30 minutes-1 hour.
- Please skin the scum off during the process.
- Add Awamori, brown sugar, and soy sauce, cover with a drop lid, and boil for an additional 20 minutes over a low heat.
- This time, if the meat is not submerged, add more water.
- Add the boiled eggs, and boil for another 10 minutes.
- Add mirin for the finishing touch, and simmer over medium heat.
- Now you're done!
- I tried making it with rice wine.
- It is not as good as awamori, but it was tender as well.
