Steps to make [Simmered Pork Belly Cubes] Tender Red Meat:
  1. Use the meat without slicing. Heat vegetable oil in a pan, and sear the meat.
  2. Add meat, leek, and ginger in a pot, pour plenty of water, then turn the heat to high. Bring to a boil, and turn down the heat to low. Cover with an otoshibuta drop lid, or a piece of aluminium foil or kitchen parchment paper with several holes. Simmer for 2 hours.
  3. ○Skim off the scum. ○Make sure there is enough water to cover the meat. When the amount of water gets low, add more. ○Flip the meat half way through.
  4. [Tips] Turn off the heat, and cover with a lid. Let it sit overnight so that the flavour is reabsorbed by the meat. When you don't have time, let it sit for 3~4 hours to cool.
  5. Remove the meat, and cut into bite-size pieces. Transfer to an appropriately sized pot.
  6. [Tips] Add water, sake, and mirin, then turn up the heat to high. Bring to a boil, turn down the heat to low, and add sugar. Simmer for 10 minutes with the otoshibuta.
  7. A sugar molecule is larger than soy sauce molecule or a dashi powder molecule. Therefore, adding the sugar first makes the dish absorb the sweetness better.
  8. Add soy sauce and dashi powder, and simmer for 1 ~ 2 hours with the otoshibuta.
  9. When the meat sticks out from the sauce, and the color is shiny, turn off the heat.
  10. [Tips] Cover with the lid, and let it sit overnight to absorb the flavour. When you don't have time, let it sit for 2 ~ 3 hours to cool. Done.
