Sticky Pork Belly

Ingredients

• 1kg pork belly
• 4 thin slices of ginger
• 10 cloves of garlic (smashed)
• 2 green onion
• 1 tablespoon of black pepper and ground coriander seeds
• 2-3 bay Leaf
• 3 star anise
• 5 red whole chilli (optional)
• ½ cup of soy sauce
• ¼ cup of dark soy sauce
• ⅛  cup oyster sauce
• 4.5 tablespoon of brown sugar
• 2 cups of water

Method

1. Cut the pork belly into cubed pieces. Add the pork belly to a pot filled with water and turn the heat to medium-high. Add in black pepper and ground coriander seeds; let it cook for 10 minutes and rinse with cold water. Drain the pork belly and set it aside
2. In a pan, turn the heat to medium-high and add pork belly, ginger, and garlic. Pan fry for 2-3 minutes or until pork belly is slightly golden brown.
3. Add green onion, star anise, whole red chili, bay leaf, soy sauce, dark soy sauce, brown sugar, Chinese cooking wine (optional), and water.
4. Bring everything to a simmer, turn the heat down to low, and put the lid on for 30 minutes. Keep an eye out to prevent it from burning.
5. After 30 minutes, turn the heat up to high and simmer on high heat for 5 minutes; this should thicken the sauce. Make sure to keep stirring to avoid it getting burned.
6. Pair with rice and garnish with green onion.
