Slow-cooked Pork Belly


Ingredients

  • 1200g pork belly with skin on, cut into 2cm chunks
  • 3 tbsp caster sugar
  • 2 inch square pieces of ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 4 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 4 tbsp peanut oil
  • 4 tbsp dark soy sauce
  • 8 tbsp light soy sauce
  • 600ml cold water

Method

  1. Mix the pork belly, sugar, ginger and 4 tbsp of light soy sauce in a large bowl.
  2. Leave to marinade in the fridge for at least an hour.
  3. Pre-heat the oven to 140 degrees Celsius.
  4. In a large casserole dish, heat the peanut oil over a medium-high heat.
  5. Add the pork belly and all the marinade into the casserole dish and cook, stirring every couple of minutes.
  6. After about 15 minutes all of the liquid should have evaporated and you'll be left with just clear fat and the sugar will start caramelising.
  7. Mix all the rest of the soy sauce and water into the casserole dish and put a lid on it.
  8. Cook in the oven for 2 hours and then serve with rice.

Serves 6 to 8, depending on if you have have any side dishes with it.
