braised pork belly

Tender fatty meat

Braised pork belly is a dish of fatty pork belly slow-cooked in liquid until tender and rich.

The cut comes from the underside of the pig—the same meat used for bacon before curing.

Braising renders the fat while keeping the meat succulent: The braised pork belly melted in my mouth.

Common in Chinese, Korean, and European cuisines.
