Slow Roasted Char Siu Pork Belly image

This is something I learned from friends up in Malaysia. The meat goes well in fried rice as well as with salad.

Time 5h5m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

2 kg pork belly, ribs removed
250 ml water
1 piece ginger, chopped coarsely
6 garlic cloves, chopped coarsely
6 tablespoons char siu sauce

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 110-120 degrees Celsius.
  • Wash the belly, dry, rub over the char siu sauce.
  • Place in a heavy baking dish, skin down, pour in the water and sprinkle generously with ginger and garlic, cover with aluminium foil and place in the oven.
  • Check after 1 hour to see that the temperature is not too low that nothing is happening or too high that it is cooking too fast.
  • After 5 hours the meat will be just so tender.
  • The skin will not be any good and you will have to cut it off.
  • Serve with a simple salad.
