Introduction
This is a tender and juicy pork belly rice bowl that can be easily made in a short time using a skillet. The sweet and savory special sauce coats the thick-cut pork belly perfectly, and when combined with a gooey soft-boiled egg, it makes for an irresistibly delicious meal.
Step 1
Pour water into a small pot, bring to a boil, and add 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Gently add eggs that have sat at room temperature for about 5 minutes, and boil over medium heat for 7 minutes and 30 seconds.
Step 2
Immediately transfer the boiled eggs into ice-cold water and let them chill thoroughly for about 10 minutes.
Step 3
Cut the pork belly block into slices approximately 1.5 to 2cm thick.
Step 4
Arrange the pork slices and use a fork to poke holes thoroughly across both sides.
Step 5
Add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil to a skillet, heat over medium, and place the pork in the pan. Sear both sides well for about 2 minutes each until nicely browned.

Important Notes
💡 Cooling the eggs in ice water immediately after boiling causes the membrane inside the shell to shrink, making them easier to peel neatly.
💡 Since the fat rendered while searing the pork contains a distinct pork odor, wiping it off thoroughly with a paper towel before simmering is the secret to a clean and delicious sauce.
💡 To ensure the sweetness penetrates to the center of the meat, make sure to add the soy sauce only after the initial 5-minute simmer is complete (a technique for adding seasonings at the end).
