How to Make Chashu Pork (チャーシュー) Cooking Japanese recipe

How to Make Chashu Pork (チャーシュー) a Cooking Japanese recipe.

For many the best part of ramen is the melt-in-your-mouth slices of braised pork belly called Chashu (braised pork belly). The ramen pork is tender, salty, and sweet. It is a perfect compliment to a hot bowl of ramen.

Chashu originates from the Chinese barbecue pork called Char Sui. But as with many other things Chashu has gone through many changes to become a Staple of Japanese cuisine.

In this Cooking Japanese recipe we take a pork belly slab and roll it to create the shape that allows for proper cooking. They key to keeping the Chashu pork juicy is to roll and tie it tight.

A happy side effect of making Chashu is that the sauce is great for making Ramen Eggs. You can watch our Ramen Egg recipe and just replace the sauce.
