Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 26

1 ½ lb whole skin-on pork belly
¼ cup kosher salt
2 tablespoons sugar
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 pod star anise
2 cloves garlic
3 bay leaves
⅓ cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
½ gal water
⅓ cup water
1 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons canola oil
½ teaspoon bay leaf powder
1 ½ teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
3 cloves garlic
⅓ cup coconut vinegar
⅔ cup full-fat coconut milk
oil, for frying
4 poached eggs
4 pinches ground szechuan peppercorn
2 teaspoons scallion, thinly sliced, green parts only
2 teaspoons garlic, fried
4 teaspoons fresh cilantro
jasmine rice, cooked

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325˚F (160˚C).
  • Cut the pork belly in half crosswise and place in a Dutch oven or large oven-safe pot.
  • In a large bowl, combine the salt, sugar, pepper, star anise, garlic, bay leaves, soy sauce, apple cider vinegar, and water. Whisk until the salt and sugar have dissolved.
  • Pour the braising liquid over the pork belly. Cover the pork belly with a sheet of parchment paper, then tightly cover the pot with a sheet of aluminum foil. Bake for 2-2½ hours, until the pork is tender but not falling apart.
  • Remove the pork belly from the braising liquid and transfer to a wire rack set over a baking sheet. Chill uncovered in the refrigerator overnight.
  • Make the adobo sauce: In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine the water, soy sauce, sugar, canola oil, bay leaf powder, black pepper, garlic, coconut vinegar, and coconut milk. Simmer for 15-20 minutes. Remove the sauce from the heat and reserve until ready to use.
  • Remove the pork belly from the refrigerator and cut it into approximately 8 5-ounce (140 g) pieces. Score the pork by slicing through the fat cap, stopping once you reach the meat, in ½-inch (1 cm) sections.
  • Fill a large pot halfway with the oil and heat until it reaches 375˚F (190˚C).
  • Fry the pork belly until the skin is crispy and the center is hot, about 8 minutes.
  • Slice the pork belly between the scores.
  • To serve, ladle some adobo sauce on the bottom of a serving bowl. Arrange a portion of pork belly on top and garnish with a poached egg, Szechuan pepper, scallions, fried garlic, and cilantro. Serve with Jasmine rice alongside.
  • Enjoy!
