Pork belly is the best part to use. We need the extra fat to make the sauce savory. This recipe to taste good has to be simmered with the sauce for at least 45 minutes. Meat absorbs half of the liquid that makes the meat really tender and tasty. A dish you must try. 

Great to serve with hot steamed white rice. You can also sprinkle the top with green onions if desired. ​
