Crispy Pork Belly With Asian Greens

Melt in your mouth, tender meat with delicious, indulgent, crunchy crackling. The pork belly is marinated overnight in garlic, ginger and soy which results in succulent, tasty meat. I used free range, pasture fed pork, which enhanced the flavour.

This recipe takes awhile but the wait is worth it. Served with a side of Asian greens and rice the results speak for themselves.
