Cooking Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add the pork belly, ginger, garlic, and white parts of the scallions. Boil for 30 minutes.
- In a deep skillet, heat grapeseed oil over medium heat. Sauté the ginger, garlic, and white scallion parts for about 1 minute.
- Stir in the star anise and cinnamon stick, then pour in the regular soy sauce, dark soy sauce, rice wine, brown sugar, and water, bringing the mixture to a vigorous boil.
- Carefully arrange the cooked pork belly slices in a heat-proof dish that fits your steamer. Pour the braising liquid over the pork, ensuring it's well-covered.
- Seal the dish with parchment paper and place it into a steamer over simmering water. Steam for 1.5 hours.
- After steaming, allow the pork belly to cool for about 15 minutes. Once cool, slice into thick pieces.
- Skim off any solidified fat from the surface of the pork belly and arrange slices inside soft buns. Garnish with the green parts of scallions.
