Still working on the soup. Had some for lunch yesterday and should get some more of it today. I love it when a little work goes a long way like that. The juices have been lasting through breakfast and Sweetie has been able to take a thermos of it for lunch, as well.
Got a huge chunk of pork belly at Costco a couple of weeks ago. It was too fatty to use in a sugo and I'd never cooked with it before. I didn't know what to do. It came as a big flat hunk of meat. I'd chopped a strip of it off into fish-like chunks (or that's what I thought, maybe 2" x 2") and had frozen it. Pulled it out of the freezer and let it defrost and set about making a marinade. I used about 1/4 cup or so soy sauce 1/4 cup or so mirin 1/4 cup or so of oyster sauce (finished the bottle) 1/4 cup or so of an Indonesian catsup that's been around for a while. Label wore off. We bought it when we were there a few years ago. lots of chopped garlic olive oil more garlic powder some powdered ginger, too I whisked all of the ingredients into a bowl and then poured it over the pork chunks that were still in a gallon-sized zip loc. Initially it seemed too salty, but in the end it worked out, taste-wise. Seal the bag, don't push...
