Directions
- 1. For the Miso Marinade: Pour the mirin and sake into a saucepot, and place over medium heat. Flame the sake and mirin to burn off some of the alcohol. Turn heat to low and add the white miso; whisk until smooth. Add the sugar and whisk again until the sugar is fully dissolved. Do not allow the mixture to boil. Remove from heat and let cool.
- 2. For the Black Sesame Paste: Toast the cup of black sesame seeds in a dry pan until fragrant and nutty. Place the toasted seeds into a Vitamix blender and grind the seeds on high until well ground. Place the remaining ingredients in a Vitamix. Start the blender at low speed, using the plunger to work the ingredients. Gradually raise the speed of the blender and work the mixture until fully incorporated; this may take a few minutes to get to the desired, smooth tahini-like consistency. Place Black Sesame Paste in a small bowl and reserve.
- 1. Heat 3 quarts of water in a saucepan and add the salt, sugar and pink salt. Stir to combine and continue heating until everything is melted. Remove from the heat and add back the remaining 9 quarts of cool water. Once the brine is fully cooled, pour over the pork belly to fully submerge. Brine overnight, but for no more than 24 hours.
