Slow Cooker Braised Pork Belly
Ingredients
- 2 kg belly pork cut into small pieces
- 2 thumb size pieces of ginger
- 5 star anise
- 8 tbsp dark soya sauce
- 8 tbsp Shao Xing rice wine or cooking sherry if you can’t get that
- 5 tbsp sugar or to taste
- 5 cloves of garlic don’t need to peel
- 1 head of broccoli
Instructions
- Boil the pork in a pot of water for about 15 minutes and skim off the scum.
- Transfer pork into the slow cooker and add in all other ingredients
- Cook on high for about 1 hour and turn it down to low for a further 3. If you want to leave it all day, just bring it to a boil and turn it down to low for up to 8 hours.
- After 4 hours, the fat would have rendered down and the meat is tender.
- You can test for seasoning at this point and add more soya sauce or sugar as needed.
- Cut the broccoli into florets and steam when ready to serve. I like to decorate my serving bowl with broccoli as the bright green is a nice contrast to the bowl of meat.
- Serve with hot steamed rice.
