Why cooks start here
Chashu Pork is cooked the way ramen kitchens cooks it — salt judged by hand, fat used generously, and the table set for sharing. This is the home version, written down the way a japanese family cook actually puts it on the table.
Chashu Pork is a beloved staple in ramen kitchens across Japan, where its preparation is an art form. This home version stays true to the family table, capturing the essence of how Japanese cooks bring it to life. The balance of salt is determined by skilled hands, while the richness of pork belly is embraced, making it a dish meant for sharing. The result is a succulent and flavorful pork, where soy sauce and sake meld with ginger's subtle warmth and sugar's sweetness. Each bite offers a tender, melt-in-the-mouth experience, enhanced by a touch of fine sea salt, creating a comforting and satisfying dish that celebrates simplicity and depth.
