Ingredients

• 500 g Pork belly
• 3 tbsp Black vinegar (Chinkiang vinegar)
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Dark soy sauce
• 2 tbsp Sugar
• 20 g Ginger
• 4 pcs Garlic cloves
• 2 pcs Star anise
• 2 tbsp Cooking oil
• 1.5 cups Water
• 2 pcs Scallions (for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cut the pork belly into bite-sized cubes and set aside. Peel and slice the ginger into thin pieces. Peel and finely chop the garlic.

Step 2

Heat the cooking oil in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the ginger slices and star anise, frying until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes.

Step 3

Add the pork belly pieces to the pan and cook until they are browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

Step 4

Stir in the garlic and sauté for another 1-2 minutes until aromatic.

Step 5

Add the black vinegar, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, and sugar to the pan. Stir well to coat the pork evenly.

Step 6

Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan. Let it simmer for 30-35 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the pork is tender and the sauce has reduced to a sticky, glossy consistency.

Step 7

Remove from heat and let it sit for 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld further.

Step 8

Serve hot, garnished with thinly sliced scallions. Pair with steamed rice or your choice of side dishes.
