Create tender, juicy pork belly perfection.
Ingredients:
  • 800g piece Pork Belly
  • 9.20 gm vegetable oil
  • 4.80 gm sea salt flakes
  • 1 tsp fennel seeds
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 1.25 gm paprika
  • 2 brown onions, cut into wedges
  • 250ml chicken stock
  • 1/2 wombok (Chinese cabbage), finely shredded
  • 1 fennel bulb, finely shaved
  • 2 firm Corella pears, cored, cut into matchsticks
  • 125.00 ml fresh mint leaves
  • 125.00 ml fresh coriander leaves
  • 40.00 ml flaked almonds, toasted
  • 10.00 gm mirin seasoning
  • 10.60 gm light soy sauce
  • 10.00 gm caster sugar
Instructions:
  • Preheat the oven to 220C. Score the pork skin with a small sharp knife, then place it skin-side up on a clean surface. Drizzle with oil and sprinkle with salt, fennel seeds, cumin, and paprika. Use your hands to rub the spices into the skin.
  • In a roasting pan, layer the onion and top with the pork. Roast in the oven for 30 minutes.
  • Lower the oven temperature to 160C. Pour the stock around the pork, then cook, loosely covered, for an additional 2 hours or until the pork is very tender. Let it rest, loosely covered, for 15 minutes before serving.
  • Combine wombok, shaved fennel, pear, mint, coriander, and almonds in a large bowl. In a small bowl, whisk together mirin seasoning, soy sauce, and sugar. Drizzle the dressing over the salad and toss to combine before transferring to a serving bowl.
  • Cut the pork belly into 4 equal pieces. Place the pork and onion on a serving plate and pour over the pan juices. Serve alongside the pear and wombok coleslaw.
