Ingredients

  • Pork belly (Cut into equal-sized pieces)
  • Water (For soaking the pork belly with salt for 10 minutes)
  • Salt (For salting the soaking water)
  • Scallions (Some for cooking and some chopped for finishing)
  • Ginger (Amount not specified in the source)
  • 1 tbsp Light soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp Dark soy sauce
  • Rock sugar (A handful)
  • Star anise (Amount not specified)
  • Cinnamon (Amount not specified)
  • Bay leaves (Amount not specified)
  • 1 Beer (1 can; volume not specified)

Steps

  1. 1

    Cut the pork belly into evenly sized pieces.

  2. 2

    Place the pieces in salted water and soak them for 10 minutes to remove blood and strong odors.

  3. 3

    Rinse the pork belly thoroughly and let it drain.

  4. 4

    Place the pork belly directly in the rice cooker pot. There is no need to fry it or add water for cooking.

  5. 5

    Add the scallions and ginger.

  6. 6

    Pour in 1 tbsp light soy sauce and 1 tbsp dark soy sauce.

  7. 7

    Add a handful of rock sugar, the star anise, cinnamon, and bay leaves.

  8. 8

    Pour 1 can of beer into the rice cooker.

  9. 9

    Close the lid and press the cook button. Cook until the pork belly is tender; the source does not specify an exact cooking time or a particular rice cooker program.

  10. 10

    When the pork belly is cooked, sprinkle chopped scallions over the top and serve hot.

Notes

The source does not indicate the amount of pork belly, the volume of the beer can, or the amounts of the scallions, ginger, spices, and rock sugar. Cooking time depends on the rice cooker and should be extended until the meat is tender.
