Ingredients

  • 3 green onions/scallions (use only the green part)
  • 1 knob ginger (1 inch, 2.5 cm per knob)

  • 2 lb pork belly block (or use 3–4 lb, 1.35–2 kg and increase the seasonings by 50%; Japanese grocery stores sell pork belly without the rind; if needed, ask your butcher to remove it)

  • 4 soft or hard-boiled eggs (you can use my soft-boiled or hard-boiled egg recipes)
  • shichimi togarashi (Japanese seven spice) (for a spicy kick)
  • For the Seasonings:
  • ½ cup water
  • ¼ cup sake
  • ½ cup mirin
  • ½ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup sugar (4 Tbsp)
