Description
A delicious and crispy pork belly served with sautéed bok choy and a spicy chili oil drizzle.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds pork belly, skin scored
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 4 cups bok choy, chopped
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
- 2 tablespoons chili oil
- 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
- 2 green onions, sliced for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 450°F.
- Pat the pork belly dry with paper towels and rub the salt and black pepper all over, focusing on the scored skin.
- Place the pork belly on a roasting rack in a baking dish and roast for 30 minutes.
- Reduce the temperature to 300°F and continue roasting for an additional 1 hour, or until the skin is crispy and the meat is tender.
- While the pork belly is roasting, heat the vegetable oil and sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the minced ginger and garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Add the chopped bok choy to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until wilted.
- Drizzle with soy sauce and rice vinegar, stirring to combine, then remove from heat and set aside.
- Once the pork belly is done, let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.
- Serve the crispy pork belly over the sautéed bok choy, drizzling with chili oil and sprinkling with sesame seeds. Garnish with sliced green onions.
Notes
- For extra crunch, finish the pork belly under the broiler for 2-3 minutes after roasting.
- If you prefer a milder dish, reduce the amount of chili oil or serve it on the side for dipping.
- You can substitute bok choy with spinach or kale for a different green.
