Pork jowl is the cut from the pig’s cheek and can be used as a fresh cut, cured, or smoked to be used in cuisines all across the world. It is especially popular in Southern parts of the US.
Preheat your oven to 300 degrees Fahrenheit. Once your oven is ready, place your pork jowls into a braising pan and add water until the pork is halfway submerged.
Add your soy sauce, fish sauce, rice wine, sugar, garlic, chili, 1 stick of cinnamon, and salt and pepper to the water. Bring the pan to the boil on the stove and reduce it to a simmer.
