Ingredients

Instructions

1. Thinly slice the onion. Cut the pork belly into strips that fit your pressure cooker pot.
2. Put the onion and pork in a pressure cooker or Instant Pot and add enough water to cover. Pressure cook for 30 minutes, or until the meat is very tender, then let the pressure release naturally. Without a pressure cooker, use a large heavy pot such as a Dutch oven and simmer for 3 hours until the meat is very tender.
3. Cut the daikon into 1-2 inch rounds, peel, and halve. Boil for 10 minutes until soft. Boil the eggs for 7 minutes.
4. Remove the pork from the pot and cut into about 12 pieces. Discard the onion.
5. Heat oil in a pan or wok with the green onions. Remove the green onions once browned and discard them. Cook the pork pieces until their surfaces are slightly browned.
6. Add the soy sauce, sake and sugar. Add the boiled daikon and eggs and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes until the sauce thickens.
