Hey guys, I want to share with you what I cooked last night, this is my version of spicy crispy pork belly with Chinese Kale Stir-Fry is a flavor-packed delight that will leave you craving more with every bite kidding aside that depends on you but that's what I feel when I'm eating it haha, here's how i did it
Ingredients:
Ingredients:
- 500g pork belly, skin on
- 1 bunch Chinese kale (also known as Chinese broccoli or Gai Lan)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon ginger, grated
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon chili garlic sauce or 2 sliced red chili
- 1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (or dry sherry)
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Cooked rice, for serving
- Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Score the skin of the pork belly with a sharp knife, making shallow cuts about 1 cm apart. This helps the skin to crisp up during cooking.
- Rub the pork belly all over with salt and pepper, ensuring it's evenly seasoned. Place the pork belly on a wire rack set over a baking tray, skin side up. This allows air to circulate around the pork belly, helping it to crisp up.
- Roast the pork belly in the preheated oven for 50-60 minutes, or until the skin is golden brown and crispy, and the meat is cooked through. Once cooked, remove the pork belly from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing it into bite-sized pieces.
- While the pork belly is roasting, prepare the Chinese kale. Trim off the tough ends of the stems and cut the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
- Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, and stir-fry for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the sliced Chinese kale to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until it starts to wilt.
- In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, oyster sauce, hoisin sauce, chili garlic sauce, Shaoxing wine, and sesame oil to create the sauce.
- Pour the spicy sauce over the Chinese kale in the skillet and toss everything together until the kale is coated in the sauce.
- Add the crispy pork belly pieces to the skillet with the Chinese kale and sauce. Stir-fry for an additional 2-3 minutes until everything is heated through and well combined.
- Serve the spicy crispy pork belly and Chinese kale stir-fry hot over cooked rice.
Remember that you must adjust the amount of chili garlic sauce according to your spice tolerance. If you prefer it milder, reduce the amount; if you're a heat seeker, add more for an extra kick. Hope you'll like it. Thank you
