About the Recipe

Sticky Pork Belly Served with rice and maybe a few Asian greens tossed about in a pan, this could quickly become a camp fav.

For the Pork: 

  • 2 pound  pork belly with the rind/skin removed. Cut the pork belly into slices about the length of your finger and cut each in half. 

  • 4 ¼ cups chicken stock  

  • 1 piece of ginger about the size of your thumb finely chopped.

  • 3 tbsp dark soy sauce 

  • 1 tsp lemongrass very finely chopped. 

Preparation

Step 1

Place the pork belly ingredients into the camp oven and bring to the boil. Place the lid on and reduce the heat source down to create a low simmer for approx. 2 hours.

Step 4

Place the frying pan over heat and add 1 tbsp oil, the pork belly pieces, salt and pepper and fry on a high heat until the pork starts to turn golden.
