Braised Pork Belly - Chef Bruce Lim Recipes

COOK WITH THE MASTERS: A LEE KUM KEE WEEKEND COOKING FESTIVAL CHEF BRUCE LIM’S RECIPES



INGREDIENTS
1 kilo     pork belly, sliced ½ inch thick
750 ml    water
1 cup    pork broth
1 cup     carrots
½ cup     celery
½ cup     onions
1 Tbsp    garlic
1 Tbsp     Lee Kum Kee Hoisin Sauce
1 Tbsp     Lee Kum Kee Premium Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp    Lee Kum Kee Panda Brand Oyster Sauce
1 tsp     coriander seeds
2 pcs     star anise
Garnish
2 pcs     mustasa leaves
1 tsp     green and red bellpepper, julienned

PROCEDURES
1. Combine all ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil. Bring down to a simmer and simmer for 3 hours or until the pork belly is soft or the fat layers are almost gelatinous in texture.
2. Blanch the Mustasa leaves in boiling water. Then lay on a plate, as a bed for the pork belly.
3. When cooked, remove the belly from the pot, place them on top of the mustasa leaves, drizzle with some of the sauce then top with bell peppers. Serve immediately.

TIP: Save time by using Lee Kum Kee Soup Base for Pork Bone Hot Pot instead of using pork broth. It’s easier and hassle free.
