4321 Fragrant Garlic Pork Belly

Seen this yummy pork belly recipe in Sonia's blog [Nasi Lemak Lover] long time ago.  Jot down roughly the recipe, chucked it in my diary pocket and it went missing in action.  Just last week, I was  looking through my old diary before discarding, then I saw the paper with this recipe.  Looks easy to cook - it really is easy yet delicious and yummy.  This recipe was adapted from Ohbin [according to Sonia].
My hubby tasted it and started asking about what's in this dish.  Once he starts asking question on how to cook a dish, this dish is definitely good otherwise he wouldn't keep quiet.
Recipe Source -  Nasi Lemak Lover [please visit Sonia's blog for the exact details]
Ingredients
[serves 3-4]
400 gm pork belly strips - skin removed and cut into 2 cm pieces
1 bulb garlic - peeled and chopped [used this much as I like garlic]
some chopped spring onions
Seasoning
4 tbsp light soy sauce
3 tbsp sugar
2 tbsp vinegar
1 tbsp cooking wine
120-150 ml water
  1. Combine seasoning ingredients [except sugar and water] in a bowl. Set aside.
  2. Caramelise the sugar in a non stick wok [golden in colour].
  3. Add in pork belly pieces.  Stir to coat and mix well.
  4. Pour in seasoning ingredients.  Stir to mix well and bring to boil for several minutes.
  5. Add in water, enough to cover the meat.  Bring to boil.
  6. Lower heat and cover to cook meat for about 30-40 minutes or until meat is tender and water has reduced.
  7. Add in the garlic and stir until gravy is almost thick.
  8. Dish up to serve, garnish with some spring onions.

  10. Hi Karen, not that easy to be a DIL, lol. Expectations are very high. Do you know that my MIL wasn't happy when I told her I don't know how to cook some dishes with the ingredients she bought? Praises are hard to come by but I'm happy to have visitors and bloggers comments that are very supportive and comforting. Great inspiration to carry on cooking/baking and sharing.
