Sticky Asian Pork Belly

Pork belly is one of those cuts of meat you just don’t buy that often, maybe it’s because how to cook it or that it is slightly fattier than other choices out there BUT the only thing I can say is that you’re missing out on a TREAT! As this Sh*t is TASTY! £4 for 650g of awesome high quality pork!

We’re going to bake it so the meat stays gorgeously tender; the top goes golden and crispy then giving it a gorgeous quick asian glaze making it sticky and devishly moreish!
