Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Prepare the pork belly

Cut the pork belly into 1 1/2-inch cubes.

2
Prepare the aromatics

Thinly slice the scallions, separating the white and green parts. Mince the garlic cloves. Peel and slice the ginger into thin rounds.

3
Blanch the pork belly

In a large pot, bring water to a boil. Add the pork belly cubes and blanch for 5 minutes. Drain and rinse the pork belly under cold water. Set aside.

4
Prepare the braising liquid

In a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven, combine the soy sauce, Shaoxing rice wine, brown sugar, star anise, cinnamon stick, and water. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil.

5
Add the pork belly and aromatics

Add the blanched pork belly, sliced ginger, minced garlic, and the white parts of the scallions to the pot. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let the pork belly simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours, or until it is tender and easily pierced with a fork.

6
Reduce the sauce

Remove the pork belly from the pot and set aside. Increase the heat to medium-high and let the braising liquid simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until it has reduced and thickened slightly.

7
Serve and enjoy

Return the pork belly to the pot and toss to coat with the reduced sauce. Transfer the Pork Belly with Scallions to a serving dish and garnish with the reserved green parts of the scallions. Serve hot with steamed rice.
