- Pork belly 600g
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the pork belly. Heat a pan over medium heat, add a very small amount of Vuco Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil, and sear the pork belly until golden brown on both sides. This step seals in the juices, ensuring a more tender result.
Step 2
While the pork belly is searing, add a bit of Vuco Organic Extra Virgin Coconut Oil to a pot over medium heat. Sauté the minced garlic, sliced ginger, large pieces of green onion, and red chili pepper for about 2 minutes until fragrant. The aroma from the vegetables will infuse into the coconut oil, enhancing the flavor profile.
Step 3
To the pot with the sautéed vegetables, add the Vuco Coconut Water Organic, soy sauce, brown sugar, five-spice powder, and star anise. Stir well to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat to allow the flavors to meld together.
Step 4
Once the marinade is boiling, carefully add the seared pork belly to the pot. Ensure the pork belly is submerged in the liquid. After it comes to a boil again, reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot with a lid and simmer gently for about 1 hour. This slow cooking process will make the pork belly incredibly tender and allow the marinade to penetrate deeply, creating an exquisite taste.
