To Cook the Chashu Pork
To Serve the Chashu Pork
DOUBLE THE RECIPE
Make more Chashu Pork by simply adding more pieces of pork belly of the same size. You may have to use a slightly larger saucepan, but you won’t have to increase the quantity of the ingredients for the braising liquid unless you are using a much larger pan.
HOW TO FREEZE CHASHU PORK
Any leftover and not-fried Chashu Pork can be frozen. I recommend freezing the sliced Chashu Pork in a single layer in a freezer bag, ideally enough for a single serve for quick and easy defrosting later.
WHAT TO DO WITH THE BRAISING LIQUID
The braising liquid is liquid gold! So don’t throw it away. I recommend freezing the liquid for the next time you want to make Chashu Pork, adding more water as needed. Alternatively, you can freeze the braising liquid in ice cube trays, and use the cubes to season a Shoyu Ramen broth.
