Crispy pork belly paired with zesty Thai salad bursting with fresh herbs.
Ingredients:
  • 1kg piece boneless pork belly with skin, scored at 1cm intervals all over (see Notes)
  • 48.80 gm fish sauce
  • 10.00 gm caster sugar
  • 3 spring onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 small Lebanese cucumber, stripe-peeled, thinly sliced
  • 1 long red chilli, seeds removed, finely chopped
  • 62.50 ml mint leaves
  • 62.50 ml coriander leaves
  • 62.50 ml Thai basil leaves (see Notes)
  • 40.00 ml chopped salted peanuts
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 200C.
  • Pat the pork skin dry with paper towel, then generously massage 1 teaspoon of sea salt all over. Arrange skin-side up on a rack in a deep roasting pan and add boiling water to come just below the rack. Roast for 2 hours, replenishing water if needed, until the skin is crispy and the pork is tender. Let it cool before cutting the pork belly into bite-sized pieces.
  • Combine fish sauce, lime juice, and sugar in a large bowl, whisk until sugar dissolves. Add pork, spring onion, cucumber, chili, and herbs to the dressing bowl, gently toss everything together.
  • Distribute the salad onto individual plates, sprinkle generously with peanuts, and serve.
