It’s woody, sweet flavor and firm texture, matches great with the pork belly. You could find them easily in most of the Asian markets.

Pork BellyFirst, I blanched the pork belly to get rid of excessive fat. After that, I pan-fried the pork belly until they are browned and have a crispy edge. The pork belly will release a lot of fat during the cooking process, I discarded half of the oil and use the other half for stir frying the rest of the ingredients.
