Soy (soya) pork

07/31/2014 //  by Connie Veneracion

There’s soya chicken and there’s soya pork. Both are cooked with a generous amount of soy sauce but the cooking method differs. While the chicken cooks, for the most part, in the residual heat of the sauce, the pork is braised until tender because the fibers of the pork meat will not break down to tenderness in the residual heat alone.

Does that mean cooking soya pork is a more involved procedure? No, not at all. You just allow the meat to braise. In fact, my version of soya pork requires less preparation and even less ingredients. All you need is the meat, soy sauce, rice wine and aromatics. Then, exercise patience because the meat requires long and slow cooking. The wonderful aroma that will float around the kitchen might whet your appetite so much and tempt you to lift the pork from the sauce before it’s ready but you have to resist the temptation because the meat requires time to soak up the complex flavors of the soy sauce.
