Braised Pork Soy Sauce

Metric

Directions

In a large heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat, combine the water, sake, soy sauce, sugar, mirin, honey, and ginger. Stir until the sugar dissolves, then add the pork to the pot.

When the liquid in the pot starts to boil, lower the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, and braise for 2 hours.

Turn off the heat and let the meat cool in the liquid for at least 1 hour.

Remove the meat from the liquid and slice it. Place the slices on a large plate. Serve the remaining braising liquid on the side.

Tester tip:

Refrigerate the cooked and cooled pork overnight before slicing if you want to get perfect slices.
