Chashu (JAPAN)



Chashu is slow-fried pork belly, a staple Japanese dish infused with traditional flavors of soy sauce and sake. The dish can be made with a flat pork belly, but the pieces can be cut round to create more sophisticated versions that cook more evenly.

Prepared pork belly is coated with a mixture of fragrant soy sauce, mirin, sake and sugar. The liquid is also flavored with sliced ​​ginger and scallions and braised for hours on low heat until the meat absorbs all the layered flavors and transforms the thick pork belly into an incredibly tender and juicy piece of meat.

If the skin of the meat is left, it will caramelize during steaming, become slightly gelatinous and affect the final texture of the dish. The name and origin of this Japanese classic is likely from char siu, a popular Chinese fried pork dish.

It is adapted with traditional Japanese ingredients to create a simple dish that is eaten all over Japan. Sliced ​​chashu is a staple of legendary ramen dishes, but can also be used as a stuffing for breads and sandwiches, or as a sauce for other noodle and rice dishes.
