Just Simmer for 10 Minutes! Black Tea Simmered Pork with Yuzu Sauce
- 200 to 300 grams Pork block (round) - see instructions
- 1 Black tea bag
- 1 The green part of a leek, or ginger
- 50 ml Sake
- 1 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Sugar
- 1 tbsp Mirin
- 1 tbsp Sake
- 1 dash Yuzu peel (optional, if you have some)
- 6 cm The white part of a leek (or onion)
- Make several holes in the pork with a bamboo skewer, and put into a pan with the ingredients.
- If the pork is thick or if you're using a block that's larger than 300 g, cut into smaller pieces.
- Add the sake and enough water to cover the pork pieces plus a bit more.
- Cover with a lid and turn the heat on to high.
- Bring to a boil, lower the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
- Turn the heat off, and leave the pork to cool naturally in the pan.
- It will cook through in residual heat.
- See the hints.
- Make the sauce.
- Combine the ingredients in a heatproof bowl, and microwave until boiling.
- Make "white hair" leek.
- Cut the white part of a Japanese leek in half and take out the core.
- Shred very finely.
- Soak in cold water until the shredded pieces curl up.
- If using an onion instead: soaked raw onion is delicious, but you can also cook in the sauce.
- Slice the cooled pork.
- Top with the "white hair" leek, and serve with the sauce and Japanese mustard on the side.
- The pork needs to be cooked thoroughly.
- Make sure it's cooked through by slicing through the center.
- See the hints.
- The pork in this recipe doesn't keep as well as salty-flavored pork.
- If we don't finish it all the same day, I store it in the refrigerator (since we live in a warm climate).
- If you like pork with lots of fat, a pork round may be too tough.
- Please try this recipe with different cuts.
