How to Make Babi Ketjap
- Cut 1 lb pork belly into 1-inch cubes. Season with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Set aside.
- Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and sauté for 5 minutes until softened.
- Add the seasoned pork, 1 tbsp grated ginger, and 1-2 tbsp sambal oelek (adjust to your spice preference). Sauté until pork is browned on all sides (about 8-10 minutes).
- Pour in 1/2 cup ketjap manis (sweet soy sauce) and 1/4 cup water. Stir well to combine.
- Bring the mixture to a medium simmer.
- Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the pork is tender.
- Uncover and continue to cook for another 5 minutes, or until the sauce has reduced to your desired consistency.
- Garnish with 2 tbsp chopped green onions. Serve hot with steamed rice and extra sambal on the side (optional).
