Recipe's preparation

    Saucy Pork Belly
  1. Put ginger, garlic and spring onions in TM bowl and chop for 3 seconds, speed 6. 

  2. Scrape down and add sesame oil, cook for 3 minutes, varoma, speed soft Gentle stir setting"Gentle stir setting" .

    While this is cooking I get a small bowl and add the soy sauces, sugar, chinese cooking wine ready for the next step

  3. Add sauces and diced pork and cook on varoma temp for 15 minutes, reverse Counter-clockwise operation"Counter-clockwise operation" , speed soft Gentle stir setting"Gentle stir setting"

  4. After the 15 minutes cooking time add 100g (or 1 MC full) of wine and cornflour if you would like a thick sauce at the end. If you don't add the cornflour you will have a runnier sauce which is quite nice with rice anyhow.
     

  5. Cook for a further 30 minutes, 100c, reverse Counter-clockwise operation"Counter-clockwise operation" , speed soft Gentle stir setting"Gentle stir setting"

  6. Remove and place in Thermoserver to keep warm if you wish to steam some rice and vegetables to go with it.
    If I am steaming rice afterwards, I don't wash the bowl...I simply add the 1000g of water to the bowl to incorporate the flavour of the pork and sauce into the cooking water. 

Tip

(optional) To blanche the meat first:
Put pork belly into large part of varoma dish and pour a kettle of boiling water over it. Pat dry and cut into 2-3cm cubes/

 

This recipe is not intended to have a crispy skin! If using the rind bothers you, you could remove it, although this may alter the cooking time and tenderness of the meat.

 

Serve with steamed rice and vegetables. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds

    I didn’t blanch and we took the rind off as hubby isn’t keen. He loved it and it will be on the menu again! For the additional wine I just used what I had left of a Sav Blanc and it was fine.

    I made this for dinner on Sunday night. Super easy and delicious. I only used 700g of pork Scotch fillet steak and didn't blanch. So used 70g of red wine and 2 tbsp of corn flour. I used kecap manis instead of the light soy and the flavour was delicious. Thanks for posting will make again

    I did`nt quite understand step 4 either, with adding the wine, ( so I did as the previous comment and added red wine) as I had added the chinese wine in step 3 with the soy sauce. I used 1 type of soy sauce because that was all I had, The family big and small loved it, very tasty and so easy to make.I used diced pork and it was so tender. Great recipe Thank you.

    I don't like gelatinous fat either. I actually roast the pork belly in the oven with crispy crackle and make up the sauce in the thermomix as a dipping sauce, it's delicious that way!

    This is a favourite in our house!!!! Freezes very well also...we love to serve with fried rice.

    I'm not sure if this is how it was intended, but the step that suggests to get the sauce ready lists the soys, sugar and chinese cooking wine. So I add all of these together. The next step then says to add 100g wine with cornflour...I'm not sure if it's been forgotten off the ingredient list or I did it wrong but I use red wine and it comes out sensational!!

    Thanks for a fantastic recipe!!

    I was so excited to make this, the photo above looks delicious. Im guessing this photo may be for a different recipe as my finished dish was almost a greyish brown colour with a thick jellyish sauce.

    The sauce tasted nice and the pork was tender but it was very greasy. Of course this is to be expected when using a fatty piece of meat like pork belly.

    I quiet like fatty soft meat so i liked the greasy soft texture. My husband couldnt eat it.

    We have left overs which i dont think will be eaten.

     

    Im glad i tried it though.
