Kakuni Pork Belly Udon

by Mike Ding

View Profile

This dish channels the soul of Japanese comfort cooking with kakuni—pork belly slow-braised in a blend of soy sauce, mirin, sake, and sugar until rich and meltingly tender. It’s served over bouncy udon noodles, which are glossed with the same savory-sweet braising liquid. Roasted broccoli, spiced with togarashi, cumin, and coriander, adds warmth and charred contrast, while a final sprinkle of green onion and togarashi powder brightens each bite.
