  • Hey guys! Today is a shorter video because in my NEXT video I’m going to show you how to make delicious TONKOTSU ramen - but you can’t have delicious ramen without mouth-watering braised pork - or CHASHU!
    Since this recipe can take a bit of time, I made it into a smaller video for you guys to come back to any time you want to revisit how to make chashu!

    00:00 Intro
    00:17 Prepare Your Pork Belly
    01:12 Tying the Chashu
    01:44 Boiling the Chashu
    03:08 Making Chashu Sauce
    04:31 Frying the Crispy Pork!
    Ingredients (One roll)
    - 1 Pork Belly Block (it should be big enough to roll and have a nice layer of fat)
    - 1 Ginger Root Chopped
    - 3-5 peeled garlic cloves
    - 2-3 stems of Japanese Negi or Green Onion
    Chashu Sauce:
    - 100ml cooking sake
    - 100ml mirin
    - 4 tbsp sugar
    - 250ml soy sauce
    - 500ml water
    - 500ml water from the boiled pork
    - ½ chopped onion
    How to Make:
    - Start off by preparing your pork belly, remove any moisture with a paper towel and cut off any uneven parts. Prick both sides with a fork and make thin slices down the non-fatty part of the belly.
    - Roll the pork belly up tightly so the side with the least fat is in the middle
    - Tie up the pork with kitchen twine - make one knot on the end of the pork and then make a circle with your hand - pull the pork through and tighten the string - repeat this step down the pork and tie off a tight knot at the end. Then tie the twine around the length of the pork a few times before making another tight knot.
    - Fill a saucepan with enough water to cover the pork and bring to a boil - drain the pork in a sieve and wash away any impurities/bitterness from the pan and the pork (this will give you a better tasting chashu in the end)
    - Put the pork back in a saucepan with ginger, garlic, and the green stems of Japanese negi (green onion) - bring to a boil and simmer for 90 minutes. You can place a piece of kitchen towel over the pork to make sure it doesn’t overflow and if the liquid evaporates too quickly - re add more water as necessary. (Make sure to save 500ml of this liquid for later)
    - Once 90 minutes has passed, remove the pork and prepare a saucepan for the chashu sauce
    - Add the cooking sake and mirin - and burn away the alcohol, once the alcohol has burned away, add the sugar and stir.
    - Once the sugar had dissolved, add soy sauce, 500ml of water and 500ml of the your saved liquid from boiling the pork and then add the pork
    - Let that simmer for 40 minutes, turning every 10 minutes.
    - Once 40 minutes has passed, take out your pork and save the sauce.
    - In a frying pan - cook the edges of your pork until nice and crispy - take out the pork - and add 2 large ladle-fulls (or enough to coat your pork) of your sauce to the fry-pan. Cook on a low heat until it thickens up.
    - Coat your pork in this sauce and let rest. Enjoy your chashu with ramen or by itself!

    It's a good thing I wasn't around mate, as that chashu wouldn't have lasted long enough to make it to the ramen.

    Yes! This is perfect! My nephews love sushi and I'm going home to visit family this fall. I was trying to think of recipe ideas to make for them and tonkotsu ramen was an idea, so I can't wait to try putting this and the next recipe together!

    Heck yeah, Champ! I've always been keen to try a good chashu pork with a tonkotsu ramen, but the "real" recipe I found took about 3 days all told and that's just a long way to go for an experiment. Hope your version is a little more approachable, looks like we're off to a good start!

    • @galindobbqanddeli

    • @RealJohnnyDingo
      @RealJohnnyDingo Рік тому +1

      you might try pork shoulder instead. if you can find an Asian grocery store they will have pork belly... I've seen it in a few non-Asian supermarkets but it's considered a specialty item and is quite expensive.

    • @galindobbqanddeli
      @galindobbqanddeli Рік тому

      @@RealJohnnyDingo unfortunately in my neck of the woods pork as a whole is normally either bacon, ribs, ham or chops. I work at a local meat counter and the shoulders are only sold as the butt and full shoulder and those are by order only. It's not readily available but I may just have to suck it up and buy one

    feeling ambitious.

  • @HolyMoonlitNight
    @HolyMoonlitNight Рік тому +1

    I would like to suggest using any kind of unbleached cloth over a paper towel which probably has a lot of chemicals. Your recipe features some cool things that other recipes don't have, like poking holes, having shallow cuts, and shaping the pork so that it can be rolled easier. Really nice.
