In reply to Lucy W. You can use beef to replace pork belly. Check out these two recipes: Braised Beef Shank, Beef Stew (omit the vegetables). Happy cooking, Lucy!

In reply to Wei Guo. I'm so excited to make this! I had this in China and loved it. Can pork belly be substituted for anything? My local store doesn't carry it :(

Lovely. I made it once using your method for cooking the pork. Today I cooked the pork in an electric pressure cooker. Let’s see what the results are like.

In reply to Lucy. Yes, I typically simmer it over low heat with the lid on. To achieve a more concentrated broth, use smaller cookware so you don't need to add too much water to cover the pork belly. Alternatively, you can intensify the flavor by reducing the broth at the end. Simply boil it over high heat without the lid. Hope this helps.

Hi, thanks so much for sharing this wonderful recipe! Where the recipe calls for simmer the meat for one hour, do you bring down the heat and simmer with lid on or without? I tried to simmer with lid on, only to find that the flavor was not that intense. Thanks to clarify!

Thanks for this recipe, I used pork shoulder for the meat (less fatty than the pork belly) and I stewed with the same ingredient for 12h in my rice cooker, was just wonderful and magic.

Thanks for the recipe!!,
