Ingredients

1kg pork belly , rind removed and chopped into 4cm cubes
200g soft light brown sugar
4 tbsp fish sauce
2 tbsp dark soy sauce
2 tbsp rice wine vinegar
5 star anise
2 tsp Chinese five-spice powder
1 medium green papaya (about 400g/14oz), peeled, halved and deseeded
4 garlic cloves , halved
2-3 small red bird's-eye chillies , sliced
1 large carrot , peeled and julienned
50g green beans , halved lengthways
2 tbsp grated palm sugar or soft light brown sugar
1 tbsp fish sauce
juice of 5 limes
6 cherry tomatoes , halved
3 tbsp roasted peanuts or cashews (see tip, below left), roughly chopped or crushed

Steps:

Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Place the pork in a roasting tin with the sugar, fish sauce, soy, vinegar, star anise, five-spice and 250ml water. Mix well, cover with foil and roast for 30 mins. Remove the foil, then turn up the heat to 220C/200C fan/gas 7. Cook for another 45 mins-1 hr, tossing the pork every 15 mins until tender. Remove the pork from the tin and keep warm. Tip the juices into a pan and reduce to a syrupy sauce.
While the pork is cooking, prepare the salad. Using a julienning tool or large box grater, shred the green papaya and set aside.
In a large pestle and mortar, or use the flat end of a rolling pin, pound the garlic and chilli for 1 min or until it is crushed, but still chunky. Add the papaya, carrot, and beans, and gently pound a little more. Add in the palm sugar, fish sauce, and lime juice, and pound again for 1 min. Mix well and taste to make sure it has enough fish sauce and sugar, it should be tangy, sweet and spicy. Add the tomatoes, sprinkle over the nuts and tip onto a serving dish or platter. Top with the warm pork, drizzle over the sauce and serve.

Ingredients

3 bananas, sliced
1/2 head lettuce, torn into bite size pieces (or 1 packet mixed salad leaves)
1 cucumber, sliced
1 cup snow pea sprouts
1/4 cup mint leaf
1/4 cup cilantro leaf
1/4 cup roasted peanuts
2 green chilies, finely sliced
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon fish sauce
2 tablespoons lime juice or 2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon brown sugar
1/4 cup coconut milk (I use reduced fat)

Steps:

To make the dressing, place chillies, ginger, fish sauce, lemon juice, sugar and coconut milk in a jar with a firm fitting lid.
Shake until combined.
Combine lettuce or packaged salad leaves with the banana, cucumber, snow peas, mint and coriander in a bowl.
Pour dressing over and top with roasted peanuts just before serving.
If you aren't planning on serving this immediately it is a good idea to leave the bananas out, then just before serving slice them and mix them through.
