Recipe's preparation

    Blanch Pork Belly
  1. Put Blade Cover in TM bowl and fill the bowl with 1500g water. Use Kettle mode and bring water to boil.
  2. Once water is boiled, place half of the pork belly in the TM bowl and blanch to remove impurities. 2 mins/100°C/Sp 2.
  3. Remove the pork belly from TM bowl and repeat Step 2 with the other half of the pork belly.
  4. Drain water out of the TM bowl, leaving the Blade Cover in for the next step.
  5. Slow Cooking the Pork Belly
  6. Ensure Blade Cover is in the TM bowl.
    Place all the ingredients in the bowl in this order. Spring onions, pork belly, ginger, star anise, cooking wine, sauces, rock sugar and 200g water.
  7. Give the ingredients a good stir and activate the Slow Cooker Mode for 3.5 - 4 hours at 98°C.
  8. After 3.5 - 4 hours, add the boiled eggs and cornflour and water mixture and give a quick stir with the spatula. Cook for a further 3 mins/100°C/Sp2 to thicken the sauce.
  9. Serve with rice.

Tip

Check halfway through to give mixture a quick stir if required.

The pork will produce more liquid during cooking time, so there should be sufficient liquid to cook the pork. If concerned, add more liquid and soy sauce and adjust the sugar/salt balance at the end.

Just before adding the cornflour, there may be a layer of oil that has collected on the top. Strain it off with a metal spoon before adding the cornflour and eggs.

Thermomix Model

  • Appliance TM 6 image
    Recipe is created for
    TM 6
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
  • Appliance TM 5 image
    Recipe is created for
    TM 5
    If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
    For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.
    Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
