INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 🍖 300g pork belly
    • 🧅 5g green onion
    • 🍚 2 servings of cooked rice

  • Butadon Sauce

    • 2 tbsp sake
    • 2 tbsp mirin
    • 3 tbsp soy sauce
    • 🧂 1 tbsp sugar
    • 🧄 6g minced garlic
    • 3g minced ginger

STEPS

1

Prepare a small saucepan and heat sake and mirin to evaporate the alcohol.

2

Add soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, and ginger to the saucepan. Simmer on low heat for 5 minutes until the sauce reduces to about 4 tbsp.

3

Slice pork belly into preferred sizes. Slightly freeze the meat beforehand for easier slicing.

4

Heat a pan and cook pork belly until golden brown. Avoid overcooking to maintain tenderness.

5

Clean the pan with a paper towel to remove excess grease. Pour half of the prepared sauce into the pan and adjust the amount to taste.

6

Simmer the pork belly in the sauce on low heat, flipping occasionally to coat evenly. Optionally, use a torch to add a smoky flavor.

7

Serve warm rice in a bowl and drizzle remaining sauce over it.

8

Arrange the pork belly slices on top of the rice for plating. Optionally, garnish with egg and chives.
