Salted Pork Belly – simplified version. A very simple recipe. I like to make this sometimes and it taste extremely good but as it does takes little bit of patience but for something so simple to make it tastes quite satisfying as an accompaniment to a good shot of whisky or brandy or beer or even all of the above. kekekekekeke

When I make this dish I always add some pork without fat because my husband do not eat fats. Actually I want to make The Hakka Styled Pork Belly with Szechuan Peppercorns and 5 spice but I am out of Szechuan Peppercorns so this is a ‘simplified version – Salted Pork Belly.

I actually love to eat this just wrapped with fresh lettuce. You can stuff them into soft buns but that’s carbohydrates though.
