Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Pork Belly

    In a large pot, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Season the pork belly with salt and pepper, then add it to the pot. Sear each side until golden brown, about 5 minutes per side.

  2. 2

    Braise the Pork

    Add minced garlic, ginger, soy sauce, sriracha, and enough water to cover the pork. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low, cover, and braise for 2 hours or until tender.

  3. 3

    Prepare the Spaetzle

    In a bowl, mix rice flour, all-purpose flour, eggs, and water until smooth. Season with salt. Pass the mixture through a spaetzle maker or a colander into boiling salted water. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they float, then remove and set aside.

  4. 4

    Cook the Bok Choy

    In a separate pan, heat a little sesame oil over medium heat. Add baby bok choy and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Season with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Crispy Shallots

    Thinly slice shallots and fry in hot oil until golden brown and crispy. Drain on paper towels.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Plate the braised pork belly with rice spaetzle, sautéed bok choy, and top with crispy shallots and sliced green onions.
