Suan Ni Bai Rou (Boiled Sliced Pork with Garlic Sauce) instructions

1. Thinly slice few pieces of ginger. You don’t need to peel the skin but make sure to rinse the ginger thoroughly before cutting..
2. Fill a pot with about 8 cups of water. Add the ginger slices, pork belly, 1 tbsp of rice wine, and 1 star anise. Bring it to a boil. Once the water starts to boil, cover with a lid and lower the heat to medium-low. Continue to cook for 20 minutes. After 20 minutes of boiling, turn off the heat and let the pork belly cool off in the broth for about an hour..
3. Thinly slice the tomato and cucumber. You can use a mandoline slicer if you have one..
4. Chop the green onion. This will be used for garnishing. You can also use cilantro..
5. Grate some garlic..
6. Mix 2 tbsp of soy sauce with 1 tsp of sugar until the sugar is fully dissolved. Next, add 2 tsp of grated garlic, 1 tsp of sesame oil, and 1/2 tsp of hot chili oil. Stir well to combine all the ingredients together..
7. There is no right or wrong way of cutting the pork belly for this dish. You just need to make sure each piece of meat is very thin. I cut the whole pork belly in half first. And then thinly slice against the grain. If your pork belly is not cool enough for cutting, you can put it in the refrigerator for a little bit. The pork belly will be cooler and firmer so you can easily cut it into thin slices..
8. Place the cucumber slices around the edge of the plate. Next, place the tomato on top of the cucumber. And add the pork belly slices in the middle. Finally, drizzle the sauce on the top. Sprinkle some green onion..
