15-Min Kakuni Pork Belly with Fried Egg
Tender pork belly braised in soy-mirin glaze with a runny fried egg and fresh shiso. This shortcut version skips the slow simmer—store-bought pork belly or thick-cut bacon crisps fast over high heat, then glazes in the same pan.

Step 1
Cut pork belly into 1-inch cubes. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering.
Step 2
Sear pork 2–3 minutes per side until edges brown and curl. You'll smell a rich, caramelized aroma.
Step 3
Pour soy sauce and mirin into the pan. Toss to coat, then simmer 2 minutes until the glaze coats the pork.
Step 4
Push pork to the side. Crack eggs into the empty space, cover loosely, and cook until whites set.
Step 5
Slide pork and eggs onto plates. Top with fresh shiso leaves and serve immediately.
