Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Marinade

    In a bowl, combine the pork belly with five-spice powder, soy sauce, oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, sugar, sesame oil, minced garlic, black pepper, and water. Mix well and marinate for at least 2 hours or overnight in the refrigerator.

  2. 2

    Make the Dough

    In a separate bowl, mix the rice flour, tapioca starch, salt, and enough water to form a smooth dough. Knead until the dough is pliable, then let it rest for 30 minutes.

  3. 3

    Shape the Lor Bak

    Divide the dough into small portions and flatten them. Place a piece of the marinated pork in the center, fold the dough over to encase the pork, and seal the edges.

  4. 4

    Fry the Lor Bak

    Heat oil in a deep pan over medium heat. Carefully add the shaped lor bak to the hot oil and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Slice the cucumber and serve alongside the crispy lor bak with chili sauce for dipping.
