How to prepare

  • ・cabbage
    Remove the core from the cabbage and slice into strips.
    Slice the core thinly.
    ・green bell pepper
    Slice thinly horizontally.
    ・pork belly
    Slice the pork belly into quarter-inch slices.
    Transfer the pork into a bag.
    ・Miso sauce
    Mix red miso, grated ginger, garlic, sugar and sake.
    ・assemble
    Toss sauce in the bag. Rub until well coated.
    Add in cabbage and green bell pepper.
    Seal the bag removing the air and freeze.

How to cook

  • Thaw the bag in a microwave, according to the machine instruction, or 2~3 mins on low (300~500w).
    Or leave in the fridge overnight.
    Transfer to a frying pan and cook on medium heat.
    Stir occasionally because the Miso is easy to burn, so keep your eyes on it and beware of the smell.
    ※I used red Miso today, but you can use yellow Miso as well.
