ByMinShien

Ingredients
 

  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil
  • 2 lbs lean pork belly sliced
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/8 cup dark soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp brown sugar
  • 3/4 cup rice wine
  • 1/2 tsp five spice powder
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 3/4 cups water more if needed
  • 5-6 red Idaho® potatoes cubed

Instructions
 

  • Heat Dutch oven or pot with vegetable oil under medium high heat. Add sliced pork belly. Sear on both sides for a few minutes.
  • Add soy sauce, dark soy sauce, brown sugar, rice wine, five spice powder, garlic, water, and red Idaho® potatoes. Add more water if needed to submerge at least 4/5 of the items. Bring to a boil.
  • Lower heat to medium low, cover and cook for 50 minutes. Check halfway through, stir, and add more water if the liquid is drying out.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Serve with rice and enjoy!

Notes

Depending on the pot/Dutch oven you are using, you may or may not need more than 1 ¾ cups of water. When I make this in my Dutch oven, I only need 1 ¾ cups of water. Every appliance and stove top are different, so adjust the water accordingly! Note that water will evaporate as it cooks. The final dish should not be soup-y, but should still have a little bit of sauce.

Carla Lalli Daddy pasta

Anyone can be a daddy, and everyone likes pasta. RECIPE Daddy Pasta 4 Servings 1 pound pasta, any shape Kosher salt; freshly ground pepper 1 cup finely grated Parmigiano, plus more for serving 3 large egg yolks ¼ cup extra-virgin olive oil ¼ cup (2 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until very al dente, 3 minutes less than the time indicated on the package. While the pasta is cooking, whisk together 1 cup Parm and the egg yolks in a medium bowl; season generously with salt and pepper. When the pasta is about halfway done, slowly whisk about 1 cup of pasta cooking liquid into the egg and cheese mixture. Reserve an additional 2 cups pasta cooking liquid; drain pasta (reserve pot). Return the pasta to the pot and add olive oil and butter; stir until butter is melted. Continue stirring and tossing constantly while gradually adding cheese mixture to pasta. Stir, more pasta cooking liquid as needed, until sauce is thickened and emulsified and blankets noodles completely. You may not need all the pasta water, but use enough to make things super saucy.  

Serve pasta topped with pepper and more cheese.
