Slow Cooker Kakuni

Made “Kakuni” (stewed pork belly) in the slow cooker today for the first time. Turned out great!

Matched great with Aooni IPA.

It was super simple to make.
Will put the recipe in the comments.

    Looks fantastic. What are those side dishes with it?

    Good kakuni is a wonderful thing. You paired it with probably my favourite Japanese beer. Nice work, OP.
