This pork belly with spicy garlic sauce is a must try! The sliced pork belly is tender, flavorful, simply to die for. Even better? It takes only 30 minutes to make. I can’t wait to share the recipe with you.
To start, I boiled the ginger, bay leaves, cinnamon, peppercorn and dried chili pepper in water for about ten minutes to first get the flavor out of these aromatic ingredients. Then, I used the water to boil the pork belly and render the fat.
Cooking the thinly sliced pork belly with the spice infused broth is the key! It helps to give the pork belly an irresistible base flavor.
After setting the cooked pork belly aside, I began to prepare the dressing.
I used a combination of essential Chinese seasonings such as soy sauce, Lao Gan Ma black beans chili sauce, Chinese vinegar and sesame oil for the seasoning sauce. It is hot, savory, acidic and super appetizing.
To boost flavor, add more color and texture to this dish, I garnished the pork belly with fresh cilantro, minced garlic, chopped peanuts and sesame seeds.
This pork belly with spicy garlic sauce is one of my top 10 personal favorite recipes of the year. I am a huge fan and would recommend this dish to anyone who’s looking for a good pork belly recipe.
