1. Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a saucepan. Add pork chunks into the water and blanch for 5 minutes. Drain well and place on a large plate lined with a couple layers of paper towels. Set aside.
2. Heat up a large sauté pan or a wok over medium-low heat for about 5 minutes. Add oil and 2 tablespoons brown sugar. Stir gently until sugar is dissolved in the oil.
3. Meanwhile, pat the pork dry with additional paper towels. Once the sugar is melted, increase heat to medium and carefully add pork into the pan. (The oil might pop due to excess water from the pork. Don’t stay too close to the stove and be careful.) Brown all sides of the pork. Flip and let it brown undisturbed, about 30-45 seconds on each side.
4. Once the pork is browned, add dark soy sauce into the pan, stir to combine. Let it cook for 5 minutes.

Pressure Cooker Pork Belly (Kakuni) 角煮 (圧力鍋) Just …

WEBMar 12, 2024 · Rinse the pork belly under warm water. Put the pork belly back into the Instant Pot. Add ½ cup water, ¼ cup sake, ½ cup mirin, ½ …

1. Gather all the ingredients. My pork belly was from a Korean market and it was pre-sliced into ¼ inches (6 mm). If you buy a block of pork belly, you can freeze the meat for 30-60 minutes and slice with a sharp knife (see this post) or cut into 2" x 2" or 5 cm x 5 cm cubes, which are typical Japanese pork belly (Kakuni) shapes.
2. We will only use the green parts of the green onions (use the white parts in miso soup to go with this dish). Cut the green parts in half. Peel the ginger and slice it thinly.
3. Press the “Sauté” button on your Instant Pot (I use a 6 QT Instant Pot) and heat the oil. Cook the pork belly. You can skip this part to cut down the cooking time, but it will render more fat and make the dish tastier.
4. Pour water just to cover the meat, then add the green onions and sliced ginger. Cover and lock the lid. Make sure the steam release handle points at “sealing” and not “venting”. Press the “Keep Warm/Cancel” button on the Instant Pot to stop cooking. Press the “Manual” button to switch to the pressure cooking mode. Change the cooking time to 35 minutes. If you’re using a stove-top pressure cooker, cook on high heat until high pressure is reached. Then reduce the heat to low to maintain high pressure for about 30 minutes.
