Pork Belly

Carrot-Ginger Purée

Garnish

Method

Pork Belly

  1. 1

    Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C).

  2. 2

    In a large bowl, mix together brown sugar, soy sauce, rice vinegar, minced garlic, grated ginger, chili flakes, and salt to create a marinade.

  3. 3

    Place the pork belly in a deep baking dish and pour the marinade over it, ensuring it's well coated. Cover the dish with foil.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven for 2.5 to 3 hours, until the pork is tender and the fat has rendered. Optionally, remove the foil for the last 30 minutes to crisp the skin.

  5. 5

    Remove from the oven and let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing.

Brussels Sprout Slaw

  1. 6

    In a large bowl, combine shredded Brussels sprouts, julienned carrot, and sliced green onions.

  2. 7

    In a separate small bowl, whisk together lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  3. 8

    Pour the dressing over the Brussels sprout mixture and toss until well combined. Set aside to marinate while the pork is cooking.

Carrot-Ginger Purée

  1. 9

    In a saucepan, bring vegetable broth to a boil. Add the chopped carrots and grated ginger.

  2. 10

    Reduce the heat and let it simmer until the carrots are tender, about 15-20 minutes.

  3. 11

    Once the carrots are cooked, drain them and transfer them to a blender. Add butter and salt, and blend until smooth.

  4. 12

    If the mixture is too thick, add a little vegetable broth until the desired consistency is achieved.

Assembly

  1. 13

    Serving

    On a plate, spread a generous amount of carrot-ginger purée, top with sliced pork belly, and add a side of Brussels sprout slaw. Sprinkle chopped cashews on top for garnish.
