Cooking Guide

Step 1
1

Add the pork belly, halved onion, salt, and sugar to a small pot with enough water to cover about 1 inch above the pork. Bring to a boil on high, then lower to medium and simmer 25 to 30 minutes, until the juices run clear or it reads 145°F (63°C) at the thickest part.

The Why

Poaching the pork gently in aromatics keeps it moist and tender for thin slicing, while the onion and seasoning flavor it from the outside in.
