    If you put it in a vaccumed airtight bag in order to let it marinate for next day's usage, then you better not put it in the fridge since cooling it will only slow the marinating process and the way you stored it makes it good for at least 48h.
    That's really some modern cognitive dissonance people tend to have because they are so accustomed to refrigerators.
    Any freshly cooked food stays good 24h outside of a fridge except for dairy products, i mean except if you live in a dumpster or if the temperature inside your home is 40°c somehow. What a wonderful waste of flavor and energy.
    Makes you wonder how they used to do it back then, you know when refrigerator didn't exist, for like pretty much all of history

    I have a question about sauce – how you use it after? For what exactly? I wonder if it makes sense to use it for Tare of my Ramen (sorry for ignorance if its totally uncorrected 😅)

    A good tip for all! If you want to put more flavor into it, use some of the marinade sauce while pan searing it, it will absorb the sauce very well and infuse a lot of flavor.

    I have a question, I'm wanting to try to make chashu this weekend, but I have a lot of trouble trying to find sake as an ingredient. I live in America and the only thing I can find is mirin, that's not the same thing, is it???

    Hello, great recipe, I plan on cooking this tomorrow. Can you advise if there's a preferred style of Sake to use? What brand, or type of sake do you use? Also, would you recommend, white, raw or brown sugar? Thanks!

    Do you have to vacuum seal it? I have a vacuum seal machine but it gets messy whenever I try to vacuum seal things with liquid inside the bag.
