First day of Spring! Hooray!

Making Pork Belly Kakuni (Japanese style braised pork belly). This meal takes many hours, but the end result of super tender melt in your mouth pork is usually worth it.

Pork ready to begin the 2 hour+ boiling.

Makeshift drop lid in place (I do actually have a plastic pig drop lid…but I can’t find it ATM)

The final product! With rice, spinach & soft boiled egg. Plus daikon radish salad. Itadakimasu!
