Chashu Pork is a flavorful, braised dish that originates from Japanese cuisine, inspired by the Chinese method of preparing char siu. This dish features pork belly marinated and simmered in a savory-sweet mixture of soy sauce, mirin, sake, sugar, and aromatic spices like ginger and garlic. The slow-cooking process renders the meat tender and infuses it with rich, umami-packed flavors. While Chashu Pork is an indulgent addition to ramen bowls or served as a standalone side, it is high in fat due to the pork belly cut. It provides protein and essential vitamins like B12, but its sodium and sugar levels are significant, owing to the marinade. For a healthier option, leaner cuts of pork can be used, and the marinade can be adjusted to reduce added sugar and salt. Chashu Pork is a delicious but calorie-dense treat often enjoyed in moderation.
