Steps:
- Gather all the ingredients. My pork belly was from a Korean market and it was pre-sliced into ¼ inches (6 mm). If you buy a block of pork belly, you can freeze the meat for 30-60 minutes and slice with a sharp knife (see this post) or cut into 2 inches x 2 inches or 5 cm x 5 cm cubes, which are typical Japanese pork belly (Kakuni) shapes.
- We will only use the green parts of the green onions (How about using the white parts in miso soup to go with this dish?). Cut the green parts in half. Peel the ginger and slice it thinly.
- Press the "Sauté" button on your Instant Pot (I use a 6 QT Instant Pot) and heat the oil. Add the pork belly in a single layer, searing both sides. You may need to work in batches. If so, transfer ones that had been seared to a plate. When you finish, put all the seared pork belly back in the pot. Tip: You can skip the searing process to cut down your entire cooking time, but it will render more fat and make the dish tastier.
- Pour water just to cover the meat, then add the green parts of the green onions and sliced ginger. Cover and lock the lid. Make sure the steam release handle points at "sealing." Press the "Keep Warm/Cancel" button on the Instant Pot to stop cooking. Press the "Manual" button to switch to the pressure cooking mode. Change the cooking time to 35 minutes.
- If you're using a stove-top pressure cooker, cook on high heat until high pressure is reached. Then reduce the heat to low to maintain high pressure for about 30 minutes.
- When it is finished cooking, the Instant Pot will switch automatically to a "Keep Warm" mode. Slide the steam release handle to the "Venting" position to let out steam until the float valve drops down, OR let the pressure release naturally (takes about 15 mins). Unlock the lid and drain the cooking water and discard the green onion and ginger. Rinse the pork belly under warm water.
- Put the pork belly back in the Instant Pot and add water, sake, mirin, soy sauce, and sugar. Mix the seasonings a little bit and add the boiled eggs. Press the "Sauté" button on the Instant Pot and press "Adjust" once to increase the heat. Bring it to simmer to let the alcohol evaporate (no more than a minute). Then press the "Keep Warm/Cancel" button to turn off the Sauté mode. Cover and lock the lid. Make sure the steam release handle points at "sealing." Press "Manual" and set the cooking time to 10 minutes for sliced pork belly and 20 minutes for pork belly cubes.
- When it is finished cooking, the Instant Pot will switch automatically to a "Keep Warm" mode. Slide the steam release handle to the "Venting" position to let out steam until the float valve drops down and unlock the lid. If you have time (this is optional), press the "Sauté" button and simmer on low heat until the liquid in the cooker has reduced by half.
- Serve the rice in a (donburi) bowl and pour the sauce on top. Place the pork belly and egg (add blanched green vegetable if you have any). Pour additional sauce over the meat and serve immediately. If you like it a bit spicy, sprinkle shichimi togarashi (Japanese seven spice). Enjoy!

- Prepare the pork for braising. The preparation before braising affects the quality of the dish. You need to blanch the pork to remove the untoward ‘porky’ smell, apply some dark soy sauce to the surface to get a better appearance and pan-frying the skin side to create more aroma.
- Prepare the taro for stewing. Taro is referred to the potato of the tropics. Choose the bigger taro so that you can cut it into pieces of the same size with the pork slices.
- prepare the sauce. You can start to prepare the sauce while soaking the pork belly in the water. The flavor of this savory sauce is entirely different from other braising liquid.
- Braised the pork belly and enjoy. The final step is to braised the pork and taro slices with the sauce. It may take a while, but I am sure it is worth to wait when the aroma from the lengthy braising drifting in from the kitchen.

- In a medium bowl, combine the fermented tofu, sugar, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, five spice powder, white pepper, dark soy sauce, and the star anise pods (just break the smaller pods off the main star anise, or pick some out that have already broken). Set aside.
- Bring about 6 cups of water to a boil to blanch the pork belly (be sure to save this blanching water, as you will use it again later). Add 1 teaspoon sugar and 2 teaspoons salt. Place the pork belly into the boiling water skin side down. Bring back up to a boil, and simmer for 30 minutes.
- Grab a deep pot or wok that will accommodate the pork belly. Add frying oil, and heat to 325°F/163°C. In batches, fry the taro slices until a golden crust forms, about 90 seconds (45 seconds per side). Set aside to cool.
- Meanwhile, cook the marinade. Heat a wok or saucepan over medium heat. Add 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil, along with the ginger. Let the ginger brown lightly for about 15 seconds. Next, add the garlic and shallots, and cook until translucent, about 1 minute. Add the sauce mixture you prepared earlier, along with ½ cup of the reserved pork blanching water. Simmer for 1 minute, remove from the heat, and cool.
