Meat lovers’ delight. Meltingly tender sweet & savoury Japanese braised pork belly. Kakuni literally means "square simmered". The eggs cooked with the pork gives the dish a lovely extent. Serve with spicy pickled courgette salad and steamed rice.

Tip. You can omit the process of chilling and removing fat. Just skim excess fat from the surface of the boiling liquid and add seasoning to continue cooking straight away. The result will not be as light but some people prefer this a little more substantial meaty taste.
