Yen Can Cook ~ Crunchy Pork Belly Slices

Promise me, you must try out this recipe! It’s a mouthwatering treat that will leave your taste buds begging for more! (っˆڡˆς)

I know there are divide opinions when comes to pork belly, whilst some people aren’t big fans of fatty meat, a lot of you adore it (including me!). But worry not, in this recipe the fat of the pork belly is rendered down when deep frying, which results in a perfectly crispy and crunchy pork belly slices. The meat can be eaten after this step but to enhance the flavour further, I prefer it to be coated with that delicious, sticky sweet-savoury sauce.

Ingredients (Serve: 3-4)

700-800g pork belly, skin removed & thinly sliced

Tips: Freeze the pork belly till slightly harden to make the meat slicing easier. Check out HERE. 

3 shallots, sliced

2 tablespoon tapioca flour

1 chili, sliced (optional)

Cooking oil for frying

Marinade

1 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

Sauce

4 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon oyster sauce

1/2 teaspoon dark soy sauce

3 tablespoon honey

1/2 teaspoon sugar

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Step 1: Marinate the sliced pork belly with salt and pepper for 30 minutes. Thinly dredge the pork with tapioca flour and set aside.

Step 2: In a bowl, mix all ingredients of sauce till well combined. Set aside.

Step 3: Heat up cooking oil in wok or pan. Deep fry the sliced pork belly in batches until crispy. Remove, drain and set aside.

Step 4: Pour out the excessive oil and leave some oil on the wok/pan, put in shallots (and chili) and stir fry till fragrant.

Step 5: Add in the sauce concoction (Step 2), bring the sauce to a simmer until thicken, add in the fried pork belly (Step 3). Stir to let the sauce coat evenly of the pork belly, make sure the heat is low and don’t burn the sauce.

Step 6: Serve.
