I made some Okinawan shoyu pork with pork belly the other day. I boiled
it for a few minutes, drained it and added fresh water and boiled it for
about an hour. Then I drained that and then boiled the meat in a shoyu
mixture. It was tasty.

I know a couple of guys that used to raise pigs. One is Hawaiian and the
other was from the mainland. Boy, do these guys know pigs! They also
seem to have a genuine fondness for the animal. The people on my
mother's side of the family was known as pig farmers and they were
really looked down upon for it.
