Instructions

  1. Season the Pork: Rub salt into the Boston butt to season it, then slowly sear the outside.
  2. Make Char siu Sauce: Combine green onion (green part), ginger slices, crushed garlic, saké, mirin, soy sauce, sugar, and salt in a pot. Heat on low until warm, then turn off before it boils.
