    2. 2

      Place (1), the green part of 2 to 3 green onion stalks, 3 to 4 thin slices of ginger, and 1L (33.8 fl. oz.) of water into a pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove any scum that forms on the surface, then turn the heat to low. Allow to simmer without boiling for 50 minutes to 1 hour.

      Turn off the heat, allow to rest for 10 minutes, then strain.

Chashu and Soy Sauce Marinated Egg
    1. 1

      Truss a 500 g (17.6 oz.) pork shoulder block with butcher’s twine for uniform, compact shape. 

    2. 2

      Heat 1 tsp of vegetable oil in a pot over medium heat, add in (1) and roll to evenly sear all surfaces.

    3. 3

      Add 4 to 5 thin ginger slices, the green portion of 2 to 3 green onion stalks, 1 red chili pepper, 80 ml (2.7 fl. oz.) of soy sauce, 50 ml (1.7 fl. oz.) of sake, 4 Tbsp of sugar and 200 ml (6.8 fl. oz.) of water to the pot. Cover with a lid and simmer over low heat for 1 hour.

    4. 4

      Separate the meat and the broth. Remove the aromatic vegetables from the broth, place into a storage container and add in 1 boiled egg. Once the meat has cooled, remove the twine, place into the storage container and set aside to soak up flavor for more than 3 hours.

    5. 5

      Remove the chashu and slice up thinly. * If not using right away, store in the refrigerator.

Cooking Basics

Eggs - boiling

Remove the eggs from a refrigerator about 30 minutes prior to return to room temperature. Place a small amount of salt into boiled water, then add in the eggs. Using a ladle to gently add in the eggs can help prevent cracking. Once the desired boiling time has passed, remove the eggs into cold water and allow to cool completely.
