Ingredients

Blanching

1.5 lbs pork belly

3 scallions(white portion)

3 slices ginger

1/4 cup shaoxing wine Cooking

2 tbsp neutral oil

2 tbsp rock sugar

3 scallions(white portion)

3 slices ginger

2 star anise

1 cinnamon stick

2 bay leaves

3 dried chilies

1/4 cup shaoxing wine

3 tbsp light soy sauce

1 tbsp dark soy sauce

2.5 cups water

Instructions

Prep aromatics by slicing ginger and scallions. Save scallions whites for cooking and greens for garnish.

Cut pork belly into 1.5 inch sized chunks.

Add pork belly to a pot along with aromatics and shaoxing wine. Cover with water, bring to a boil, and cook for 5-7 minutes.

Rinse pork belly under cold water to remove any scum.

Heat oil and sugar in a wok on medium heat. Once the sugar caramelizes and becomes an amber color(3-4 minutes), add the pork belly.

Sauté pork belly until golden brown then add aromatics, spices, shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, and dark soy sauce. Pour enough water to barely cover the pork belly, cover with a lid and simmer on low for 1.5 to 2 hours. You know the pork belly is ready when you can easily poke the skin with a chopstick.

Remove the aromatics and spices then raise the heat to medium high to reduce and thicken the sauce(3-4 minutes).

Garnish with a green portion of scallions and serve with a hot bowl of rice.

thank you so much for you guys’ feedback on my oc Braise. Loved the comments! Here’s her biography. Always feel free to ask me questions about her, there’s nothing I’d love more than to answer them.

Braise’s biography~

"You’re either on my side or in my way."

BACKGROUND

Operator Luna "Braise" Ursi is born in France where she lived for three years before immigrating to Quebec, Canada. There, she developed skills in French and English due to her location which benefited her throughout her social and professional life. She comes form a hardworking family and she knew quite young what she wanted to do; sacrificing herself to help those in need. At 16 she enlisted in the Canadian armed forces (CAF) as an armored officer. That will mark the beginning of her multiples changes.

Later, Luna did one year in the Royal military college before realizing it may not be the right fit for her, she soon changed to the federal police of Canada (RCMP), succeeding in every part of the job including weapons’ training and rapid response situations. She did four years before being able to supervise the newcomers and then got approached by the emergency response team (ERT). There, she served one year. One year where she got deployed all over Canada helping citizens and participating in high danger classified operations. During a joint operation with the JTF2, she met agent Sebastien "Buck" Côté who later introduced her to Rainbow.

PSYCHOLOGICAL REPORT

When I first read Luna’s dossier I thought Côté wasn’t thinking straight. She had way too much expectations on what she could achieve and about the person she would become, but maybe that’s what made her such a good fit for team Rainbow. She would not back down. She was reckless, tireless, rigorous and independent. These qualities interested me, and were a mix I had wished to see on the battlefield for a long time now.

At first, I started to learn about her personal life. She lived with a quite modern family. There didn’t seem to be any problems at first but, as I dug deeper, I realized Ursi had suffered this oldest sibling syndrome. She felt a lot of pressure on her shoulders but managed to control it before she find an opportunity to work on it with the federal police. My several psychological interviews with agent Braise confirmed her immense feeling of pressure when it came to success. A mix of immense guilt and pressure of doing what is right. She had failed to achieve her goals in the army which pushed her into not doing any mistakes again that could make her feel so miserable. Failure is her biggest enemy.

Luna would seem harsh at first but she is liked in the unit by others and seems to have small issues with few of our agents. After some time she quickly grew found of our French and Canadian agents where she seemed to find her place with most of them. Of course, her strong sense of hate towards injustice made her more friendly with Aria "Alibi" De Luca which she described, as my biggest surprise, like a sort of canalisation for her anger. I’m also looking forward to seeing her work with agents Mark "Mute" Chandar as her defensive partner and Jordan "Thermite" Trace during her mentoring time with the agency. They are two strong headed men, who I hope will vandalize their anger and frustration into Luna’s strategic and open mind.

Braises de coton

Du coton tombe du ciel Des idées surgissent d’entre les lignes La chair agrume se fait amande L’oeuf dur se fend tendrement

Ces bûches s’effondrent

Le feu

Grandit

Halkojaromahdus —

Tuli

Kasvaa

🔥 Merci pour ce poème enflammé, au sujet d’un joli feu de barbecue ! 🔥

Pour coller à l’esprit concis de ce texte, j’ai « inventé » un mot finnois : ”halkojaromahdus”, à partir de ”halkoja” (« des bûches » au partitif pluriel) et ”romahdus”, « l’effondrement ».

Le reste est le fruit d’une traduction littérale. En finnois, pas d’article défini.

🔥 Le poème tient donc en trois mots, un mot par vers ! Mission accomplie, et bon appétit ! 🔥
