Looks are indeed deceiving. Just basing on the photo, I would assume that this is one dish that requires a fair amount of work. Well usually most stuff that requires deep frying does. Just making sure the meat (whatever it is) is evenly coated with flour or batter takes a good 20 minutes.
Surprisingly this is an incredibly easy recipe which a colleague shared with me recently. Needless to say, the kids enjoyed it A LOT simply because it is crispy… and that in itself is probably good enough justification for the deed to be repeated.
Ingredients:
- 500g pork belly (about 1 inch wide)
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 tablespoon shaoxing wine
- 1 tablespoon corn flour
- 5 tablespoon rice flour (alternatively a mix of plain flour and corn flour)
Preparation:
- Marinate pork belly with all ingredients except rice flour, for at least 3 hours or overnight in the fridge.
- Coat pork belly with rice flour before cooking.
- Deep fry pork belly until gold brown and cooked.
- Slice pork belly and serve with mayonnaise or tonkatsu sauce as dipping sauce if desired.
Number of Servings: 4 to 5 persons
