A few weeks back I saw pork belly at my local market. While I wasn't up for the preplanning and time it takes to make bacon, I was still intrigued and wanted to try to do something with it. Much like with ox tails (and that's another post) pork belly responds quite well to braising. So armed with a cast iron dutch oven and ingredients I already had on hand, that's what I did.
Rich, flavorful and fatty (but in a good way) this is definitely a once in a while dish.
Recipe Friday: Asian Style Braised Pork Belly (Inspired by Buta no kakuni Japanese braised pork belly-Just Hungry)
1 lb pork belly cubed
1 piece of leek (sliced thin- it's ok to use some of the green part)
2 table spoons pickles ginger (you can use plain ginger root, but I had and like pickled)
1 star anise
3 Tbs. soy sauce
2 Tbs. rice wine vinegar
Dash of Sesame oil (optional)
2 cups water
Cut the pork into cubes about 1 inch / 2cm or so square. If the skin is still on, leave it on. Heat up a large pot with a heavy bottom. Sauté the pork belly cubes, without any added fat (you don’t need it…) until browned.
When the meat is browned, add the rest of the ingredients, bring to a simmer and lower the heat. Put a lid on and let it simmer gently for about 3 hours, turning occasionally.
To serve, dredge the pieces carefully out of the very oily cooking liquid,. Drizzle a little bit of the cooking liquid over the cubes.
I served this with some plain steamed Jasmine rice and steamed broccoli.

louis vuitton replica business as usual. Enda Kenny did indeed break an election party promise (and a personal one, no matter how he puts it), and replica lv bags, as a result, rather than having a meaningful debate on whether or not these replica lv bags should be closed, we have a bout of handbags over who said what.
We also had the louis vuitton bags showing of hypocrisy that has recently enveloped Fianna Fail. Has anyone spotted that Micheal Martin has been breaking his own post-election promise of constructive opposition? Maybe someone should dig up the audio tape on that one louis vuitton bags, because for the past three months he has provided replica louis vuitton handbags.
