Asian Crispy Pork Belly

Ingredients

  • 1kg pork belly
  • 2 cloves garlic (crushed)
  • 2 teaspoons fresh ginger (finely grated)
  • 1/4 cup light soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup hoi sin sauce
  • 1/4 cup dry sherry
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon G-Fresh Hot Crushed Chillies
  • 1 and 1/2 teaspoons G-Fresh Atlantic Sea Salt

Directions

  1. Using a sharp knife, score the pork rind so that it's evenly marked at 1cm intervals.

  2. Place pork on wire rack over sink (rind side up). Carefully pour boiling water over pork rind, then pat dry with paper towel. Cool for 10 minutes.

  3. Combine garlic, G-Fresh Chillies, ginger, soy, hoi sin, sherry and sugar in a ceramic or glass dish big enough to hold the pork belly.

  4. Place pork into marinade, skin side up (taking care not to get marinade on the skin side).

  5. Refrigerate uncovered for 3 hours, or overnight, allowing pork skin to dry out. 
Preheat oven to 180oC. Line a roasting pan with foil. Reserving marinade, place pork into a roasting pan. Roast for 45 minutes or until pork is tender. Brush the skin lightly with oil. Sprinkle with G-Fresh Atlantic Sea Salt and Chillies. Place under a hot grill until skin is crisp and golden.

  6. Meanwhile, combine reserved marinade and ¼ cup water in a small saucepan. Bring to the boil. Simmer (uncovered) for 10 minutes. Serve sauce with pork roast.
