pork belly

🥗Healthier: pork tenderloin

💰Cheaper: pork shoulder

Pork tenderloin is leaner while pork shoulder is more affordable.

Place pork belly in a large pot and cover with water.

Add salt, pepper, bay leaves, garlic, and onion to the pot.

Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce to a simmer.

Cook until pork is tender, about 1.5 to 2 hours.

Remove pork from pot and let it cool completely.

Pat the pork belly dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Heat oil in a deep pan over medium-high heat until shimmering.

Carefully add the pork belly to the hot oil, frying until golden and crispy, about 10-15 minutes.

Turn the pork belly occasionally for even cooking.

Remove from oil and drain on paper towels.

Let rest for a few minutes before slicing into pieces.

Serve with dipping sauce and garnish with chili peppers and green onions.
