modifications of measurments and ingredients

• About 1 lb pork belly
• Water
• 2 and 1/2 tablespoons mead
• 1 and 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 1 and 1/2 tablespoon rock sugar
• 1 and 1/2 teaspoons dark soy sauce
• Star anise pods
• Cassia bark
• Ginger
• Garlic, garlic scapes

Here we go…. Prepped….

Blanch the pork belly, drain and dry

Melt the sugar with oil….

Start braising the pork belly in the syrupy liquid.

You can see the caramelisation and shiny result.

MMMMM…. Have to taste a sample.

Added some garlic scapes in place of the Spring onion.

Plated up, added some sesame seeds, because I add them to a lot of dishes.

Tasty dish, I will try this with chicken wings !
