This recipe is a fairly direct application of the 'hong shao' / red-braised chinese cooking technique to vegetarian pork belly, which does in fact exist.

Ingredients[edit]

  • 1-2 packs veggie pork belly
  • 1/4 cup brown sugar
  • 4 scallions
  • 2" ginger, thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 star anise pod
  • 1/4 cup light soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup shaoxing wine

Directions[edit]

  • Find vegetarian pork belly. The stuff we found had a lot of pepper caked on it. If that's what you find, scrape off as much of the pepper as you can while defrosting.
  • Dissolve sugar in water over medium-high until a syrup is formed
  • Reduce heat, add pork, and coat with the syrup.
  • Add aromatics. cook - tossing / stirring for 1 minute
  • Add soy sauce and wine and cook for another couple minutes until slightly reduced.
  • Pour in enough water to just cover pork and simmer until the sauce has permeated the pork. I didn't notice much additional change after 30min.
  • Remove pork. Boil / reduce sauce until thickened (maybe 10-15 min).
  • Serve pork and sauce
