Discover the delightful yet lesser-known classic of Japanese cuisine with this recipe for Buta Bara, which translates to “pork belly.” This dish features tender pork belly paired with daikon, which transforms into a soft and juicy accompaniment as it cooks, perfectly balancing the richness of the meat. To enhance the flavours, aim to reduce the sauce by half, intensifying its savory profile. For an added zing, yuzu kosho—a spicy citrus paste—is an optional but highly recommended finishing touch that elevates the dish just before serving.
