How to Make Be Celeng Base Manis Pork In Soy Sauce

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a wok or heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
  2. Add 4 finely chopped shallots and 2 minced cloves of garlic. Sauté for 2 minutes, or until lightly golden.
  3. Add 1 lb of cubed pork belly and sauté for 2 minutes on high heat, until lightly browned.
  4. Pour in 1/4 cup of regular soy sauce and 1/4 cup of ketjap manis (sweet soy sauce). Add 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Continue to saute for 1 minute, allowing the pork to coat in the sauce.
  5. Add 1 cup of chicken stock. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cover. Braise for approximately 1 hour, or until the pork is incredibly tender and the sauce has reduced significantly.
  6. The sauce should be thick and glossy, and the pork should be a rich dark brown. If the sauce becomes too dry before the pork is tender, add a little more chicken stock, a tablespoon at a time.
  7. Serve hot, with steamed rice and your favorite Balinese side dishes for an authentic experience.
