Cooking With Richard

Take a whole pork belly, spring onions, ginger, carrots and onions.
Boil some water with a cup of sake.
Add the ingredients and simmer very gently for 2-3 hours.

Take the pork and vegetables out, and throw away the veg, but keep the stock.
(At this point there was quite a lot of stock and I was on the horns of a dilemma as to whether to throw away excess stock, or reduce - in the end I threw away excess, which might have been a mistake).
Cut up the meat into 1.5″ x 1.5″ cubes.
Add 1/2 cup of sugar first, then soya sauce and a little bit of mirin.
Put the meat back into the stock and then cook slowly for 30mins - 1 hour.

Don’t stir the meat during this time.
Leave overnight and eat the next day.
Mitomi says “oishii!”
