Homemade Pitan Tofu Recipe

Here’s another so easy to make dish that you wonder if you should be even paying for this to eat outside at a fancy Japanese restaurant next time.

To make the all important sauce, add 2 tsp oil to your trusty pot. Add about 150g or pork belly cut into square chunks like seen in the video. Fry them until they turn brown and slightly crusty.
