2. While searing, put all the ingredients for seasonings in a heavy-bottom pot (or cast iron) that fits the Chashu. 3. Add the Chashu and bring it to a boil, skimming the scum and foam. Then turn the heat to low/simmer.

4. Put an Otoshibuta (drop lid) on top to press the ingredient down and limit the evaporation. (I used baking paper to cut to the shape of the pot)

5. Simmer on low heat for next one hour, rotating Chashu every 20 minutes (keep Otoshibuta on all times!)6. After one hour plus, the liquid will be reduced in the pot. I didn't cook further to reduce the sauce though.
7. Turn off the heat and let the Chashu rest in the pot.
