Caramelised Pork Belly Strips & Peaches with Asian Greens
Prep time: 5 mins
Cooking time: 30m-35mins
Serves: 4
Ingredients
- 650g-800g approx. Pork Belly Strips
- 280ml Chang’s Dressing
- ½ Bunch Coriander
- ½ Lemon
- 3 Peaches
- 2 Bunch Gai Lan
- 2 Birds Eye Chilli
- Cooking oil
Method
- Preheat the oven to 200°C. Bring a pot with salted water to a boil.
- Pat dry the pork belly strips and place them in a mixing bowl. Add ¾ of the marinade dressing to the pork and set aside.
- Wash and finely chop the coriander, add it to the pork, and reserve some for garnishing.
- Grate the zest of ½ a lemon onto the pork and mix well.
- Slice off the peach cheeks and set aside.
- Bring a large frying pan to medium-high heat. Drizzle with cooking oil, remove excess marinade from the pork, and sear the strips for approximately 1-2 mins on each side until golden brown. Do not overcrowd the pan; it is preferable to sear them in two batches.
- Place the strips on a baking tray lined with baking paper and set aside.
- Wash the pan and drizzle with cooking oil. Place the peach cheeks on the pan flesh side down and cook for 2 mins until golden brown. Turn and cook for another minute. Remove from the pan and place with the pork strips.
- Drizzle the pork and the peaches with all the remaining dressing and place them into the oven. Cook for 15 mins until caramelised and cooked through.
- Meanwhile, cut the Gai Lan bunches into 3 pieces and cook in the boiling water for 2-3 mins until the stems soften and become vibrant green.
- Remove the pork and peaches from the oven and serve with Gai Lan. Drizzle with all the pan juices and garnish with freshly sliced chilies and coriander.
