Easy and delicious pork belly dish. Goes well with steaming hot rice or porridge.Reduce the dried chillies if you do not want the dish too spicy.
Here, I cooked only 1/2 portion of the original recipe. I was trying to clear off the Hoisin Sauce in my pantry.
Verdict -fragrant, tasty, delicious and slightly spicy. The meat is cooked till chewy [QQ] texture and has a big which bring out its' flavour.

Hi Kimmy, this dish really look delicious..drooling already ...can I have dinner at ur place LOL
This is another comforting dish to go with rice. Nice of you to share,Kimmy!
Hi Madeline, sure you can. The more the merrier. It's very tasty and the pork belly is just cooked till tender and has a bite.
Hi Soke Hah, it's comfort food and I like it very much cos' it tasted so much better after resting. I could this a day earlier and just reheat it before serving. Hassle free and something good to go with rice in just minutes.
A mouth-watering dish, Kimmy.
Kimmy, I've never had any hoisin sauce. If it's kinda seafood taste then I'll give it a miss and use salted black beans or tau cheon.
Hi Kimmy, another one of my favorite comforting food. Love this especially with hot porridge. Love your shots. Very sharp and well taken. Thumbs up! You have a great week ahead and regards :)
Kimmy, you are such a good cook, your dishes always look so yummy. Wish I can cook well like you but my interest is more on baking. ;)
Hi Veronica, since my cholesterol now at 3.96, I'm enjoying lots of pork belly dishes for awhile. Must try to use other cuts to cook yummy dishes too.
Hi Karen, I don't think it has any seafood taste. It is similar to the 'Hak Cheong' people use for popiah basah. This sauce is good to fry roasted duck meats too.
Hi Ivy, like your comment on my photos. I use my Sony Xperia smart phone to take these shots. I'm still experimenting on its' other functions.
Thanks Cheryl, I enjoy cooking different dishes with various combination of ingredients but must be as simple as possible in the preparation and methods. Must taste good and healthy too. Very demanding....of me.
Hi Kimmy,
Ooh, that is one delicious looking pork belly dish! I love pork belly but do not cook it very often.
Must cook more rice for this dish!
Thanks for sharing with CYB!
Hi Joyce, are you afraid of high cholesterol? I used to cook lean meat but there are many delicious pork belly recipes to try. Drink mulberry tea occasionally to combat it.
Kimmy, bring me some rice and sambal belacan hah..hah... I think I have hoisin sauce on the fridge. KIV for this weekend!
Hi Phong Hong, this dish tastes better when well braised until the meat is tender and the gravy is thick coating the pieces well.
