Pork Belly Recipe

Cooking Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the Pork Belly

   Preheat your oven to 150°C (300°F). Score the skin of the pork belly in a crosshatch pattern and rub it with salt and black pepper. Place it in a roasting pan.

2. 2

   Roast the Pork Belly

   Roast the pork belly in the preheated oven for about 2.5 to 3 hours, or until the skin is crispy and the meat is tender.

3. 3

   Prepare the Butternut Squash

   While the pork is roasting, peel and cube the butternut squash. Toss it with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Roast in a separate pan in the oven for about 30-40 minutes until tender.

4. 4

   Make Pumpkin Seed XO Sauce

   In a skillet, toast the pumpkin seeds over medium heat until golden. Remove from heat and blend them with honey and shiro dashi until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.

5. 5

   Serve

   Once the pork belly is done, let it rest for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve the pork belly slices on a plate with roasted butternut squash and drizzle with pumpkin seed XO sauce.
