Braised Pork with Potatoes

About This Recipe

This savory and hearty Pork Belly with Potatoes is a mouthwatering dish that combines tender pork belly, soft potatoes, and aromatic spices for a truly satisfying meal. Cubes of pork belly are stir-fried until golden brown, then simmered with garlic, scallions, ginger, and chili peppers for a rich, flavorful base. The addition of soy sauce and cooking wine enhances the umami depth, while rock sugar balances the saltiness. Potatoes are added later, absorbing the delicious braising liquid and becoming melt-in-your-mouth tender. The result is a comforting, slightly spicy, and deeply flavorful dish with a perfect balance of textures. Whether served over rice or enjoyed on its own, this homestyle recipe is sure to become a favorite. Garnish with fresh scallions for a vibrant finish!
