Rafute: The Okinawan Pork Belly That Melts in Your Mouth

Описание: Rafute, an Okinawan-style braised pork belly, is easy-to-make and packs a flavorful punch! It will melt in your mouth with an incredible myriad of sweet and savory. It relies on a special ingredient, Okinawan black sugar, to create a caramel sweetness that balances the salty and umami flavors of soy sauce and bonito flakes. This meat dish can pair well with any type of starch, including rice of course, and you'll be surprised how easy and amazing this tastes!
