Chef Esther's classically prepared chashu—Japanese-style braised pork—belly is the star of this dish. The decadent, tender pork is served simply, over steamed rice with a soy-marinated, hard-boiled egg and steamed bok choy. Mix all the elements of the rice bowl together and dig in!

I was expecting that red sweet savory pork I've grown up eating but was surprised to see the dark sauce. The sauce was too much, like hoisin and the pork's fat was gelatinous.

Disappointed… meal was a mess. My egg still had egg shells. The bok choy was tough to eat and not tasteful. The pork belly looked burnt but it was alright. As an Asian, very disappointed with this.
