RICE COOKER PORK BELLY WITH MUI CHOY

Rice Cooker Pork Belly with Mui Choy image

This hearty tender pork belly in a rich, savory sauce is made entirely in a rice cooker with flavors inspired by the Chinese classic, steamed pork belly with preserved mustard greens (mui choy kau yuk in Cantonese; mei cai kou rou in Mandarin). This celebratory dish is often served on special occasions, like Chinese New Year, with rice on the side. Here, we've streamlined the process, cooking the pork and mui choy (preserved mustard greens) all together with jasmine rice. To mimic the deep, long-braised flavor of the original, we fortified the sauce with umami-rich chicken broth, fish sauce and fermented red bean curd. Lastly, we added napa cabbage as a bonus ingredient for an all-in-one meal that can be enjoyed on any day.

Ingredients

1 cup lightly packed mui choy, leaves and tender stems (about 4 ounces)
1 pound center-cut pork belly, preferably skin-on, cut into 1/2-inch-thick slices and halved crosswise
Two 1-inch thin slices ginger, skin-on
1 star anise
1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 tablespoon Chinese cooking wine, such as Shaoxing rice wine
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon fish sauce
2 cubes Chinese fermented red bean curd (about 1 tablespoon)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 clove garlic, grated
Kosher salt
1 1/4 cup jasmine rice
10 ounces napa cabbage, cored and cut into 2-inch pieces (about 1/3 large head)
Thinly sliced scallions, for garnish, optional

Steps:

Put the mui choy in a large bowl and add at least 8 cups of cold water. Refrigerate and soak until hydrated, 4 to 8 hours.
Lift out the mui choy into a small bowl, leaving the water and any grit behind. Rinse out the large bowl and add the drained mui choy and more water. Swish the mui choi and drain. Repeat until there is no grit at the bottom of the large bowl, 2 to 3 times more.
Shingle the pork belly slices in a single layer in a programmable locking 10-cup rice cooker (not a steamer-style cooker; see Special equipment). Top with the ginger and star anise.
Mix the chicken broth, light soy sauce, Chinese cooking wine, dark soy sauce, sugar, fish sauce and Chinese red fermented bean curd in a medium bowl until the sugar dissolves and the red fermented bean curd breaks into small pieces. Pour the mixture over the pork belly.
Squeeze out any water from the mui choy and place in a small bowl. Add the vegetable oil, garlic and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Toss together, then sprinkle the mui choy over the pork belly. Close the lid and set to cook on white rice/sushi rice mode until the pork belly is cooked through, 1 hour.
Using a large rubber spatula, carefully transfer the pork belly and mui choy to a large plate. Pour the cooking liquid into a liquid measuring cup and add enough cold water to measure 1 1/2 cups.
Rinse and drain the jasmine rice until the water runs almost clear. Add the rice and reserved cooking liquid to the rice cooker. Place the pork belly on top, followed by the mui choy, then the napa cabbage. Close the lid and cook on white rice/sushi rice mode until the rice is cooked and the pork belly is tender, about 50 minutes (see Cook's Note).
Serve the pork belly, mui choy, rice and cabbage sprinkled with scallions if using.

Prepare preserved greens. Soak for 5-6 hours. Then wash them in a large basin of water 6-7 times to get rid of all sand and dirt. Drain and set aside.
Put the pork belly in a pot, and cover with cold water. Add the ginger slices and star anise. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook for 35 minutes. Take the pork out and set aside.
Heat a tablespoon of oil in the wok over medium heat. Brown the pork skin side first, followed by the other sides. Once browned, add a teaspoon of dark soy sauce and a tablespoon water, and carefully coat the pork in the liquid. Turn off the heat and let the pork cool in the wok.
Carefully slice the pork into ½-inch slices, and arrange them neatly in the bottom of a shallow heat-proof bowl. In the wok, add another tablespoon of oil and the sugar. Cook the sugar until it melts and turns a caramel color. Add the minced ginger and cook for 30 seconds. Then add the preserved vegetables, and stir for a couple of minutes. Add a tablespoon of dark soy sauce, 2 tablespoons light soy sauce, 2 tablespoons shaoxing wine and 1 cup chicken broth. Bring to a boil and then turn off the heat.

Cut pork belly into large (0.75” x 1.5”) chunks. Bring a large pot of water to a simmer and blanch the meat just until it turns opaque. Drain, rinse, and set aside.
Peel the arrowhead roots. Just trim off the top and bottom, and peel the outer skin. Immediately drop each peeled root into a bowl of cold water to prevent oxidation. If using potatoes, you're going to want to cut them into 1 1/2-inch chunks, but don't cut them just yet (they take less time to cook than the arrowhead).
When you’re ready to cook, take the arrowhead roots out of the bowl of water and cut each in half. Heat the oil in a wok over low heat and add the rock sugar. Let it melt slowly and then add the fermented bean curd/liquid. Stir for a minute. Now add the blanched pork belly and arrowhead roots (if using potatoes, do not add them yet).
Turn the heat to medium and mix everything well. Add the shaoxing wine, dark soy sauce, and 2 cups of water. Stir everything together and cover the lid. Simmer over medium low heat.
