To get started with this recipe, we must first prepare a few ingredients. You can have asian style pork belly using 9 ingredients and 10 steps. Here is how you cook that.

The ingredients needed to make ASIAN STYLE PORK BELLY:
  1. Prepare 750 grams Pork Belly
  2. Make ready Chinese 5 Spice Powder
  3. Make ready 3 Cloves of Garlic
  4. Make ready 1 tbsp Fresh Ginger (peeled and chopped finely)
  5. Take 1 Red Chilli (finely sliced)
  6. Take 1 Stick of Lemongrass (bashed and cut into 3 pieces)
  7. Prepare 800 ml Chicken Stock

Instructions to make ASIAN STYLE PORK BELLY:
  1. Pre heat your oven to as high as it will go , which will give the skin a chance to start crisping up.
  2. Make sure that your pork belly is scored on the top in a criss cross pattern. Most pieces come with it done already, but if not then use a very sharp knife, and cut around half a centimeter into the skin.
  3. Sprinkle the 5 spice powder over the top of the pork belly, and make sure to give it a good rub to get all of the flavours into the cuts on the top. Then drizzle with olive oil, and give it a good rub all over, then set aside for around 30 mins to let it do its magic.
  4. In the meantime, it is time to prepare your stock. I find the jelly stock pots perfect for this, so chuck your stock cube into a measuring jug and add the water. Then add the chilli, ginger, garlic and lemongrass. With the lemongrass it is important to bash it with the flat part of a knife before you add it, as this releases all of the flavour. Set this aside to let all of the flavours infuse.
  5. Grab yourself a small deep sided roasting tray, that is big enough to fit the pork belly in whilst still allowing around 5 cm of space around the sides. Put the roasting tray on the hob and add a good glug of olive oil. Once the oil is hot, add the pork belly and colour it on all sides, but not the top. Once this is done, turn off the gas.
  6. By now, your oven should be screaming hot, so transfer the pork belly in its roasting tray to the oven, and let it cook for around 20 mins.
  7. Remove the tray from the oven, and turn the temperature right down to 150°c and then pour your stock (which should be smelling amazing by now) very carefully around the sides of the pork belly, and leaving a bit aside just in case you need to top it up. It is VERY important to make sure that the stock doesn't cover the fatty top as this will stop it from crisping up.
  8. Put the pork belly back into the oven, and cook for around 1½ hours. After around an hour, go back and make sure that the stock level hasn't dropped too low.
  9. After 1½ hours, remove the pork belly from the oven and take it out of the tray. Set aside for 10 minutes to let it rest…. and your done! I like my crackling REALLY crispy, but this is down to your own personal choice.
  10. I like to serve this dish with steamed Pak Choi, and Dauphinoise potatoes.
