Easy Vietnamese pork belly platter: DIY banh mi for hands-on fun!
Ingredients:
  • 1kg piece boneless pork belly
  • 2 tsp sesame oil
  • 9.60 gm sea salt flakes
  • 2 tsp Chinese five spice
  • 43.20 gm hoisin sauce
  • 2 garlic cloves, crushed
  • 21.00 gm light soy sauce
  • 382.50 gm chicken style liquid stock
  • 82.50 ml rice wine vinegar
  • 5.00 gm caster sugar
  • 2 carrots, cut into long matchsticks
  • 2 eschalots, thinly sliced
  • 1 butter lettuce, leaves separated
  • 4 baby cucumbers, quartered lengthways
  • 3 green onions, cut into 10cm lengths
  • 250.00 ml fresh coriander sprigs
  • 247.50 gm whole-egg mayonnaise
  • 3 long red chillies, thinly sliced diagonally
  • 8 baby Vietnamese rolls
Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 240C/220C fan-forced and prepare a medium roasting pan by greasing it.
  • Gently pat dry pork rind with paper towel. Brush generously with aromatic sesame oil, then sprinkle with a pinch of sea salt. Arrange the pork, rind-side up, in the pan. Roast until the rind begins to crackle, for approximately 30 minutes.
  • In a jug, blend five spice, hoisin sauce, garlic, soy sauce, stock, and 1 tablespoon vinegar.
  • Lower oven temperature to 160C/140C fan-forced. Carefully pour stock mixture around pork in the pan, being mindful not to pour it over the rind. Bake for 1 hour and 30 minutes or until the pork is tender.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together sugar and the remaining vinegar. Season with salt, then add the carrot. Toss everything together and set aside until needed.
  • Allow the pork to rest for 10 minutes while you strain the pan juices into a small serving bowl, making sure to remove any excess fat from the surface.
  • Slice the pork and drain the carrot. Arrange the pork, carrot, eschalot, lettuce, cucumber, onion, coriander, mayonnaise, chilli, and bread rolls on a large serving platter. Pour over the pan juices and serve.
