Delicious pork belly recipes


Pork belly is a versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes, both as a main course and as a snack. Here are three delicious pork belly recipes that you can try at home:

Pork belly fried in fish sauce

Ingredients:

  • 1 kilogram pork belly
  • 7-8 tablespoons fish sauce
  • White pepper powder
  • 1 egg
  • Seasoning powder
  • 10-15 tablespoons tempura flour
  • Cold water
  • Palm oil (for frying)
  • 1 tablespoon vinegar
  • A pinch of salt

Instructions:

  1. Use a knife to poke the pork belly all over, including the skin, to make it tender and allow the marinade to penetrate the meat.
  2. Marinate the pork with fish sauce, white pepper powder, egg, a little seasoning powder, and tempura flour.
  3. Drizzle some cold water over the pork and knead until well combined.
  4. Marinate for about 30 minutes.
  5. Heat the palm oil in a pan until hot. Add the vinegar (to prevent the pork from absorbing too much oil) and a pinch of salt (to prevent the pork from sticking to the pan). Use medium-high heat.
  6. Fry the pork, one side at a time, until golden brown and cooked through.
  7. Drain the oil and cut the pork into bite-sized pieces. Serve.
