Pork belly is a cheap but delicious cut of meat, and Jun Tanaka makes the best of its fatty texture in a meltingly good soy-based hot pot
Ingredients
- 500ml chicken stock
- 1 tbsp caster sugar
- 1 tbsp Mirin
- 3 tbsp Soy sauce
- 3 cm Ginger, peeled and sliced
- 1 red chilli, seeds removed, sliced
- 2 sticks Lemon grass, soft parts sliced into rings
- drizzle vegetable oil
- 300g pork belly, thinly sliced
- 2 pak choi
- 4 oyster mushrooms, torn into strips
- Sesame oil
Method
1. Pour the chicken stock into a pan along with the caster sugar, mirin, rice vinegar and two tablespoons of the soy sauce. Bring to a simmer and add the ginger, chilli, garlic and lemongrass. Simmer for ten minutes, or until aromatic.2. Heat the vegetable oil in a pan and fry the pork belly slices on both sides for 3-4 minutes on both sides, or until golden-brown. Add the remaining soy sauce and cook for a further 30 seconds.
3. Add the pork to the simmering stock pan and cook for 20 minutes with a lid on, or until the pork is tender and falling apart. Add the mushrooms and pak choi and cook for 1-2 minutes, or until the pak choi has wilted.
4. Ladle the hot pot into deep bowls and garnish with the spring onions and a drizzle of sesame oil.

since seeing this on tv, my wife has asked me to cook this 5 times, it has quickly become one of our favourites
I made this last night it was delicious, absolutley fantastic recipe.
Thank you very much that's very decent of you
It looked like Jun only put about a tablespoon of vinegar into the stock. Jun also said, just do it to taste, so if you need more you can add more.
Also no there's no garlic on there
