Frequently asked questions
Can I use regular pork?
Yes, roast pork or even chicken works, though crispy belly is the classic.
What is kana?
Chinese broccoli, with thick stems and leafy greens; regular broccoli is a fair substitute.
Is it spicy?
Not as written; chilli vinegar on the side lets each person set their own heat.
