Main Ingredients- 150g thinly sliced pork belly
- 3 fresh green peppers
- 1/2 king oyster mushroom (or enoki mushroom)
- A small handful of shredded scallion greens
Special Sauce- 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp mirin (rice wine)
- A pinch of freshly ground black pepper
- 1 Tbsp granulated sugar
- 1 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp mirin (rice wine)
- A pinch of freshly ground black pepper
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the fresh green peppers and trim off the stems. Cut each pepper in half lengthwise, then cut each half in half again lengthwise. This preparation helps the sauce penetrate better and improves the texture when cooked.
Step 2
Prepare the king oyster mushroom by trimming the base and separating it into smaller strands. Have the shredded scallion greens ready. Lay out a slice of thinly sliced pork belly, then place a piece of green pepper, some king oyster mushroom strands, and a bit of scallion greens onto the pork belly. Carefully roll it up tightly so the filling doesn’t spill out. Be gentle as the pork belly is thin and can tear.
Step 3
In a small bowl, combine 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 2 tablespoons of mirin. Add a pinch of freshly ground black pepper to your liking and whisk everything together to create a delicious, balanced sauce. This sweet and savory blend will enhance the overall flavor of the dish.
Step 4
Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add a little oil, then carefully place the pork belly rolls into the pan. To prevent the rolls from unraveling while cooking, place them seam-side down first. This initial contact with the hot pan helps to seal the roll.
Step 5
Once the pork belly starts to brown, pour the prepared sauce evenly over the rolls. As the sauce simmers and thickens, it will coat the meat with a wonderful glaze. Flip the rolls frequently using tongs to ensure they cook evenly and become golden brown without burning. Once beautifully browned and cooked through, your Green Pepper and Pork Belly Rolls are ready to be enjoyed!
