Crispy Pork Belly
Once in a While....You Don't Have to Count Calories and Fat Grams!
When pork belly is salted, cured, smoked and cooked it becomes the crisp bacon we know and love. When fresh, uncured pork belly is braised it becomes tender and luscious. This recipe is a little both. Pieces of fresh pork belly are marinated in fragrant Asian flavors, braised until tender then briefly deep-fried until crisp on the outside with a tender, moist interior. Don’t be put off by the amount of fat in a piece of fresh pork belly. While it’s definitely a rich cut of meat, much of the fat cooks out during the initial braising step. The fat between the layers of meat help keep the meat moist during the braising step, try to select a piece of pork belly that has a 50/50 ratio of meat to fat in the streaking.
