Instructions

6 steps

1
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sugar, sake, and mirin until the sugar is fully dissolved to create the sweet tare glaze.

2
Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with the neutral oil. Lay the pork slices in a single layer.
3
Pan-fry the pork for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned and crispy on the edges. If using pork belly, wipe away excess rendered fat with a paper towel.
4
Pour the sweet tare glaze directly into the pan over the pork.
5
Let the sauce boil aggressively. Toss the pork continuously in the bubbling liquid for 1-2 minutes until the sauce reduces to a thick, glossy, sticky syrup that coats the meat.
6
Scoop hot steamed rice into bowls. Arrange the glistening pork beautifully overlapping over the rice. Drizzle any remaining pan sauce over the top, and garnish with chopped green onions and a sprinkle of sansho pepper.
