CHINESE-STYLE GLAZED PORK BELLY RECIPE BY TASTY



Chinese-style Glazed Pork Belly Recipe by Tasty image

This Chinese-style pork belly is sweet, salty, and perfectly tender. Slowly cooking the pork in a flavorful mixture of garlic, ginger, and brown sugar gives it that signature sticky-sweet glaze that pairs perfectly with salty soy sauce. Serve it over rice for the ultimate dinner and forget you ever wanted to order take-out.

Provided by Alvin Zhou

Categories     Dinner

Time 1h

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

20 oz pork belly, lean
4 cups water, plus 250 milliliters, divided
4 slices of fresh ginger
1 spring onion, cut into 2-inch (5 cm) pieces
2 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons oil
2 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons light soy sauce
3 tablespoons dark soy sauce
3 tablespoons shaoxing rice wine
cooked rice, for serving
sliced green onion, for serving

Steps:

  • Cut the pork belly into roughly 1-inch (2 ½ cm) cubes.
  • Bring 1 liter of water to a boil in a pot, then add the pork, ginger, onion, and garlic, and cook for 3-4 minutes.
  • Remove the pork from the water using a slotted spoon and drain on a plate lined with a paper towel. Discard the remaining water and vegetables.
  • Clean and dry the pot, then return it to high heat and add the olive oil. Return the pork to the pan and cook until browned. The oil may pop and splatter, so be careful.
  • Add the brown sugar, then reduce the heat to low. Stir continuously until the sugar has melted, caramelized, and coated the pork evenly.
  • Immediately add the soy sauces and rice wine, stirring continuously for 5-6 minutes more, or until the liquid has reduced to a thick glaze.
  • Add the remaining 250 milliliters of water. Stir, cover, and simmer for about 45 minutes. Make sure the mixture is at a low simmer, not boiling. Stir every 10 minutes or so, adding more water if the pot is getting dry.
  • Remove the lid. The sauce should coat the pork in a very thick glaze. If it is too runny, continue to stir, uncovered, until the liquid has reduced.
  • Serve immediately over a bowl of rice and sprinkle with sliced green onions.

STICKY SLOW-ROAST BELLY OF PORK



Sticky slow-roast belly of pork image

Pork belly is a relatively cheap cut of meat, making this an affordable roast to feed a crowd

Provided by James Martin

Categories     Dinner, Lunch, Main course

Time 3h40m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1.3kg piece pork belly, boned, rind left on and scored (ask your butcher to do this)
2 tsp sunflower oil
1 tsp white peppercorns, crushed
3 large onions, sliced
2-3 tbsp clear honey
2 tsp ground cumin
1 red chilli, deseeded and chopped

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 180C/fan 160C/gas 4. Lay the pork, skin-side up, on a rack in a roasting tin. Trickle with a little oil, then lightly press on the crushed peppercorns and a sprinkling of coarse sea salt. Place in the oven, then cook for 1 hr. Remove from the oven and baste with the juices. Continue to cook for a further 1½ hrs, basting every 20 mins.
  • Put the sliced onions in the roasting tin under the pork. Mix the honey together with the cumin and chilli, brush it over the pork, then increase the oven to 200C/fan 180C/ gas 6. Cook for a further 30-40 mins, basting occasionally, until caramelised with a rich, golden glaze over the pork. Once cooked and tender (this can be easily tested by piercing the flesh with a knife), remove pork from the oven, then leave to rest for 10-15 mins.
  • While the pork is resting, heat the tin on the stove with the onions, adding 2 tbsp water. This will lift any residue from the pan, creating a moist cooking liquor. Season the onions with salt and pepper, then divide between 6 plates. Carve pork into 6 portions, then serve on top of the onions. Pour any remaining liquor over and serve with the Pumpkin mash (below).

Here's what you need: soy sauce, granulated sugar, garlic, scallions, boneless, skin-on pork shoulder, asparagus, yukon potatoes, olive oil, kosher salt, freshly ground black pepper, dark brown sugar, honey

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Dinner

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup soy sauce, plus 2 tbsp, divided

¼ cup scallions, chopped
2 lb boneless, skin-on pork shoulder
1 bunch asparagus, halved
6 yukon potatoes, diced
2 tablespoons olive oil

1 cup dark brown sugar
½ cup honey

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine 1 cup (240 ml) of the soy sauce with the sugar, garlic, and scallions, stirring until mixed.
  • Score the skin of the pork by slicing a crosshatch pattern through the skin down to the meat. This will help excess fat render out and allow more of the marinade to soak in.
  • Place the pork in the marinade and toss to coat evenly. Marinate for one hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 275ºF (140°C).
  • On a baking sheet, place the asparagus halves to the right and diced potatoes to the left. Toss the vegetables with the oil, salt, and pepper. Place the marinated pork in the middle of the baking sheet.
  • Bake 1 to 1 ½ hours, depending on the weight of the pork.
  • Raise the heat of the oven to 500ºF (260ºC).
  • In a small bowl, combine the brown sugar, honey, and remaining soy sauce, stirring until smooth.
  • Spoon the honey glaze over the top of the pork, making sure to fill the cracks and crevices on top.
  • Bake for 20 minutes until sugar is dark brown and caramelized, and the top of the pork is crispy.
  • Remove the vegetables and pork from the tray, making sure to save all the juices.
  • Slice the pork into ½-inch (2 ½ cm) slices, and plate with the roasted vegetables. Spoon the reserved pan juices on top of the pork.
  • Enjoy!

Time P1DT3h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 28

400 g Brussels sprouts, ends trimmed
1 granny smith apple, peeled, cored and cut into 12 wedges
1/4 cup salt
1/2 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 sprigs thyme
150 ml honey
3 teaspoons soy sauce
1 ginger, 2 . 5cm piece, peeled and cut into 2mm slices
4 star anise
2 cups chicken stock
1 bay leaf, dried
1 sprig thyme
1/2 cup polenta, finely ground
20 g parmesan cheese, grated
1 teaspoon unsalted butter
1 kg pork belly, skin (rind)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 carrots, peeled and cut into 2 . 5cm pieces
2 celery ribs, cut into 2 . 5cm pieces
1/2 leek, white part only, cut in half
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 cup white wine
1 1/4 liters chicken stock
170 g canned tomatoes, diced
2 bay leaves, dried
2 sprigs thyme

Steps:

  • DAY 1: Mix salt, sugar, peppercorns, 2 cloves garlic and 2 sprigs thyme together in a large bowl and add 1 cup of very hot water. Stir until sugar and salt dissolve. Mix in 2 litres of room temperature water. Place pork belly in a deep baking dish and pour this brine mixture over. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • DAY 2: Preheat oven to 150°C Heat oil in a large heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium-high heat. Sweat carrots, celery, leek and 2 cloves of garlic for 5 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Lower heat to medium, add wine and cook for another 2 minutes. Add 1 1/4 litres of stock, tomatoes, bay leaves and 2 sprigs thyme and bring to a simmer.
  • Remove pork belly from the brine, rinse with clean water and place in a deep casserole dish or Dutch oven. Pour over the hot stock and vegetables. Cover with a lid and cook in oven for 2½ hours or until tender (taking care not to overcook and dry out the pork).
  • Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and cook sprouts for 3-5 minutes or until just tender and bright green. Drain and cool in a large bowl of ice water. Dry on paper towels, cut in half and reserve.
  • Once pork is ready, remove from oven. Carefully remove from the braising liquid onto a flat tray. Place another flat tray on top of the pork with 4 or 5 heavy tins on top to press the pork into a flat, even shape. Refrigerate in this position for at least 1 hour and completely cooled.
  • To score the pork: Remove and use a large sharp knife to lightly trim the edges of the pork into straight sides. Cut into 4 equal pieces and score the top of each piece into a 1cm-wide diamond pattern.
  • While the pork is cooling, make the polenta. Place remaining stock, bay leaf and thyme in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a simmer, then remove and discard herbs. Slowly pour in the polenta, whisking continuously. Reduce heat to medium and bring to a gentle simmer. Carefully whisk continuously for 7 - 10 minutes or until tender and thickened to the consistency of creamy mashed potatoes. Then add Parmesan and butter, mix well and season to taste. Remove from heat and cover.
  • Cook honey, soy, ginger and star anise in a small saucepan over a low heat for 5 minutes. Strain, reserving liquid and star anise and discarding other solids.
  • Preheat oven to 200°C.
  • Heat a large nonstick frying pan over low heat and place pork into the pan, scored side down. Cook for 7-10 minutes or until the fat has rendered, skin is golden brown and starting to crisp. Transfer to a baking sheet, scored side up, and baste on top and sides with the glaze.
  • Cook in oven for 15 minutes or until the glaze has caramelised and the pork is heated through.
  • Return the same frying pan with leftover fat to a medium-high heat and cook apples and sprouts for 3-5 minutes until they start to brown. Add remaining glaze and cook for another 6-8 minutes until tender, well glazed and heated through.
  • Heat the polenta over medium heat, with a little hot water if necessary, stirring until creamy.
  • Arrange the polenta, pork belly, sprouts and apples on 4 plates and drizzle with remaining glaze from the pan. Garnish with star anise and serve. (Do not eat the star anise.).

Provided by missdap

Categories     Main Dish Recipes     Pork     Pork Chop Recipes     Baked

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 serving nonstick cooking spray
4 bone-in pork loin chops
1 pinch salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons packed brown sugar
2 tablespoons honey

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Spray a baking dish with cooking spray. Season pork chops with salt and pepper.
  • Coat a skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat. Add chops to the hot skillet and cook until browned, about 5 minutes per side.
  • While the chops are browning, combine brown sugar and honey in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on high until brown sugar has softened or melted, about 20 seconds. Stir to combine.
  • Transfer browned chops to the prepared baking dish and spoon 1/2 of the honey glaze evenly over top.
  • Bake, uncovered, in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Remove from the oven, turn over, and spread the remaining honey glaze over top. Bake until no longer pink in the center, 15 to 20 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read 145 degrees F (63 degrees C).

Tips:

  • Choose the right pork belly: Look for pork belly with a good amount of marbling, as this will help keep it moist during cooking.
  • Score the pork belly: Scoring the pork belly will help the glaze penetrate and result in a more flavorful dish.
  • Use a flavorful glaze: The glaze is what will give the pork belly its delicious flavor, so be sure to use a glaze that you love.
  • Cook the pork belly slowly: Pork belly is a tough cut of meat, so it's important to cook it slowly over low heat. This will help to tenderize the meat and make it fall-apart tender.
  • Let the pork belly rest before serving: Once the pork belly is cooked, let it rest for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.

Conclusion:

Honey-glazed pork belly is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a special occasion or a weeknight meal. With its crispy skin, tender meat, and flavorful glaze, pork belly is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a new recipe to try, give honey-glazed pork belly a try.
