Ingredients
- 2 lbs. pork belly
- 1 piece Knorr Pork Cube
- 5 pieces dried bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon whole peppercorn
- ¼ cup Knorr Liquid Seasoning
- 8 to 10 cups water
- 4 cups cooking oil

- Remove the pork belly from the cooking pot and place in a clean plate. Let it cool down. Note: you can keep the pork stock for later use. This can be consumed to cook pork based soups and stews.
