Cut the pork into 7cm pieces and put into a shallow dish. Pour the lemon juice over the meat, cover and set aside for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix the ginger, sake, dashi, soy and marmalade and mix well.
Heat a frying pan and sear the pork all over until golden brown, about 3 minutes. If it isn’t a nonstick pan, add a little oil – but it should be fine as the belly has got enough fat. Place the meat in a colander over the sink.
Boil the kettle, then pour 1L boiling water over the pork (this is a traditional Japanese way to cook it, cleaning the meat before adding beautiful Japanese ingredients).
Place the pork belly and leek into a 20cm saucepan – it should be a tight fit. Pour in the soy-ginger sauce and bring to the boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 10-15 minutes, until the pork is cooked through, with no pink meat and the juices run clear. Steam the pak choi or other green vegetables for 4-6 minutes, until just tender.
Plate the pork and leeks with the other vegetables and some of the cooking juices onto a platter, then sprinkle with shichimi togarashi and add a spoonful of English mustard, if liked. Serve immediately.
You can use chicken thigh fillets instead of pork – cut into large pieces, ensuring the meat is thoroughly cooked with no pink meat and the juices run clear. Try serving this in a bowl with cooked Japanese rice to make pork belly donburi.
Angela Hartnett cooked this recipe on episode 6, season 4 of Dish, the Waitrose podcast. Instead of pak choi, she served it with this shredded quick-pickled salad. She cooked a slice of the pork belly fat, salted, in the oven on high for about 30 minutes to get it crispy, which she added to the salad for extra crunch
