Yen Can Cook ~ Claypot Pork Belly with Salted Fish
Extra bowls of rice would be needed whenever we ordered this dish at any Chinese Dai Chow restaurant. This is one of the guilty pleasure dishes that can be only ordered once in a while to avoid over consumption of carbohydrate (at least for me >_<).
Usually served in claypot and the aroma of this claypot pork belly with salted fish wafted immediately over the table when the server brought the dish for us. Thinly sliced pork bellies coated with thick, spicy and appetizing savoury sauce, what’s not to like!
Ingredients (Serve: 3-4)
Tips: Freeze the pork belly till slightly harden to make the meat slicing easier.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Step 1: Combine all ingredients of marinade in a bowl then marinate the pork belly slices for 20-30 minutes.
Step 2: Heat cooking oil in a claypot then pan fry the salted fish until golden. Remove the salted fish and reserve some oil to continue to saute ginger, garlic, dried chillies and onion until fragrant.
Note: You may use skillet/wok if you don’t have a claypot.
Step 3: Add in pork bell slices (Step 1) and stir fry until change colour.
Step 4: Add in soy sauce, dark soy sauce, Shaoxing wine and water. Stir well, cover the lid and let it simmer over low heat for 3 minutes.
Step 5: Put in salted fish (Step 2) and continue to simmer until the sauce is slightly thicken.
Step 6: Add spring onion and stir well.
Step 7: Serve.
HAPPY COOKING! #stayhealthy
it’s been a cold, rainy evening, so i wouldn’t mind a pot of this right now 😀
Sean, that’s definitely a good idea!
This looks really appetizing. Looks a lot like restaurant food now. 😀
Tekkaus, thank you for your compliments 🙂
Ah, this is the second pork belly with salted fish dish this week….but this one comes in a claypot…haha! 😀 This one also looks very legit except the ones I order from restaurants come with a more darkly caramelised look….more dark soy? 😉
Kris, I think I need add the amount of water to create a more saucy version.
Awesome dish! Made this myself too, now I need a claypot!
KY, no claypot also can mah.
When you say salted fish, can you give me an example of what I should be looking for?
I’m an American in KL.
n, youmay use salted fish Malong or Kurau, which the texture is denser instead of crumbly.
