- Preparation: 10 min
- Cooking: 30 min
- Makes: 1 serving (225 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: Dairy-free, Low carb
- Contains: gluten, pork, soy
Ingredients
- 120 g Pork belly, raw
- 12 g Black bean sauce
- 6 g Hoisin sauce
- 60 g Leeks, raw
- 5 g Garlic, raw
- 4 g Ginger, fresh
- 5 g Soy sauce
- 3 g Sugar
- 10 g Vegetable oil
Method
- Simmer the whole piece of pork belly in a pot of water with the ginger for 20 minutes, until just cooked through, then lift it out and let it cool enough to handle.
- While the pork cools, slice the leeks on a sharp diagonal and mince the garlic.
- Slice the cooled pork belly as thinly as you can.
- Heat the oil in a wok over medium-high heat and stir-fry the pork slices for 2-3 minutes, until the edges curl and turn lightly crisp and some fat renders out.
- Push the pork to one side, add the garlic, doubanjiang-style bean sauce and hoisin sauce to the cleared space, and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant, then mix everything together.
- Add the leeks, soy sauce and sugar, and toss over high heat for 1-2 minutes until the leeks are just wilted but still bright, then serve at once.
