What Red Braising Means
Red braising uses soy sauce, aromatics, sugar, and slow simmering to build a glossy reddish-brown sauce. The same method applies beyond pork belly to ribs, lamb, poultry, tofu, and vegetables.
How to Control the Sauce
The dish should reduce gradually until the sauce coats the main ingredient. Too much liquid leaves the flavor thin; too little heat control can make the sugar taste sharp or scorched.
