Kakuni means “square simmered” in Japanese and it directly refers to the shape and the cooking method used to make this delicious tender pork belly.
Japanese braised pork does take a few hours to make, but the result is worth it. Simmering the pork for several hours with ginger and spring onions and then simmering it for another hour in the mixture of stock, sugar, soy sauce, and sake renders the fat in the meat and creates that incredible melt-in-your-mouth texture.

The bite-sized chunks of meat, the thick-cut vegetables, the rich and creamy curry sauce, and perfectly cooked rice make every bite so comforting and satisfying. It is a meal you can easily make on a busy night, and it tastes even better the next day.
