I've just discovered what a local Thai restaurant refers to as KANA MOO KROB or Chinese Broccoli with Crispy Pork. Pure heaven, particularly if the pork is as lean as possible. I haven't tried this recipe for the pork yet, but once I get that down, I'll couple it with the right gai lan (Chinese broccoli) recipe and voila! This is a popular snack food, not unlike pork scratching. Times and yields are unknown, so I guessed.

Yield 30 snacks

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 1/4 lbs pork belly (side)
1/2 cup thai coconut vinegar
4 tablespoons salt
sunflower oil, for deep-frying

Steps:

  • Score the skin on the belly of pork crossways with a sharp knife.
  • Brush the skin with the vinegar and leave to dry. Repeat three times, then rub the pork skin with the salt.
  • Cut the pork crossways into thin strips. Spread out the pork on a baking tray and cook in a preheated oven at 120°C/250°F/Gaslh for about 3 hours until completely dry.
  • Heat the oil in a wok, add the pork strips in batches and deep-fry for about 5 minutes, or until the skin has crackled and is golden.
