What is Kakuni?
Kakuni (角煮) is a Japanese braised pork belly, and it literary means “square simmered” referring to the shape of this dish. I’m not usually into fatty meat but there is something about this dish that I cannot resist. The slow cooking method turns the meat into a delicious creation.
How do you cook Buta no Kakuni?
Heat a frying pan over medium heat and cook the meat until it turns golden brown. In a pot, place the browned pork and add the green onion, the ginger and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer for one hour. After an hour, turn off the heat.
How do you store Kakuni?
Leftover kakuni can be stored in the freezer (in a freezer safe bag or container) for up to 3 months. Thaw in the fridge overnight and reheat in the oven to re-crisp the skin.

Why is my braised pork belly tough?
Yan says pork belly meat can end up tough if it’s braised in a pot, and that steaming is the secret to maintaining its juiciness. The meat is steamed for an hour and a half until a chopstick pokes smoothly through the fat. Then it’s set aside and the sauce is reduced before the pork is re-added.

Use just enough liquid to cover the surface of the ingredients and place a drop lid on top. Reduce the liquid and allow the ingredients to absorb the flavor. If the liquid tastes good and the ingredients are evenly cooked, then it’s bound to taste great!
