Standing Stone Heritage Pork Belly (Shabu Shabu Sliced) (Avg Weight 1.0 lb pk)
The "Melt-in-Your-Mouth" Experience — Paper Thin and Packed with Flavor. This is pork belly reimagined for elegance. Sourced from our partners at North Georgia Meat Company (NGM), this product takes our premium Heritage breed pork belly and slices it wafer-thin. While Western cooking often focuses on the "crunch" of bacon, Asian cuisine prizes the "melt" of belly fat. Because these slices are from Heritage hogs, the fat is firm, snow-white, and incredibly clean-tasting, offering a natural sweetness that commodity pork lacks. When dipped into hot broth, the fat renders instantly, turning the meat into a silky, savory morsel that requires zero chewing. It is the authentic cut for Japanese Shabu Shabu, Chinese Hot Pot, or a lightning-fast Korean stir-fry.
Why It’s a Staple: It is the ultimate convenience meat. Because it is sliced so thin, it defrosts in minutes and cooks in seconds. It allows you to add rich, deep pork flavor to ramen, udon, or vegetable stir-fries without needing hours of braising time. It is a freezer essential for quick, high-quality meals.
The Specs:
-
Brand: Standing Stone (in partnership with NGM)
-
Cut: Pork Belly (Thin Sliced / Shabu Style)
-
Source: North Georgia Meat Company
-
Diet/Breed: Heritage Breed Pork
-
Portion Size: Avg 1.0 lb Pack
💡 The Chef’s Method: Swish, don't stew.
-
The Thaw: For the best texture, let it thaw slowly in the fridge. If you are in a rush, the package is thin enough to thaw in cold water in about 15 minutes.
-
The Broth: Whether using dashi, miso, or a spicy kimchi base, ensure your liquid is at a rolling simmer.
-
The Cook: "Shabu Shabu" translates to "swish swish." Pick up a slice with chopsticks and swish it through the broth for just 10 to 15 seconds. You want the pink to turn pale and the fat to become translucent.
-
The Sauce: Dip immediately. A citrusy Ponzu cuts the richness of the belly perfectly, while a Sesame (Goma) sauce complements the nutty flavor of the Heritage pork fat.
-
The Stir-Fry: If using in a pan, get it smoking hot. Toss the meat in; it will crisp up in under a minute.
-
Target Texture: Soft, silky, and fully cooked, but not rubbery.
