Ingredients
- 900 g pork belly ( 2 lb)
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Remove any bones or cartilage from the pork belly and cut it into cubes.
- Heat up a large frying pan over a medium heat, add the pork bites and season them with salt.
- Leave them to cook slowly until a lot of fat breaks down and the bites turn golden, stirring occasionally to allow both sides to cook well.
- Increase the heat to medium high to help the pork crisp up and turn brown.
- Use a slotted spoon to remove the bites from the pan, and transfer them onto a plate lined with kitchen paper to absorb the excess fat.
- Serve hot!
Notes
- Starting with a medium heat helps break down the fat well so that the bites can crisp up nicely, otherwise they will be too fatty still.
- Be very careful when stirring the pork belly bites, as the hot oil can spit out and cause burns, I find that placing a lid on the pan can help towards the end of the cooking.
- The pork is beautifully tender and crispy at the same time, and serving it with garlic sauce really work a treat, as the garlic cuts through the richness of the pork.
