We had family coming over a few weekends back so needed to cook up a meal. We were walking through the meat section at Costco looking for inspiration and came across a nice slab of pork belly. I decided to buy it and utilize in a set of dishes using a Chinese food theme. The one we are doing in this post is the pork belly recipe garlic sesame sauce style. The menu included:
- Chinese Smoked Pork Belly and Cabbage Dumplings
- Egg Drop Soup with Pork Belly
- Chinese Barbeque Pork (Char Sui)
- Cubed Pork Belly with Honey, Garlic Sauce and Toasted Sesame over noodles
This post provides details on how to cook the Chinese Pork Belly with Honey, Sesame, and Garlic Sauce. The pork belly recipe garlic sesame style has different layers of flavor and hard to beat. It’s a very easy recipe to put together and doesn’t take much time. It was delicious served over noodles.
Preparation
This is an easy recipe using Tamari sauce, toasted sesame seeds, green onions and tons of garlic. In preparation, you will need to go ahead and cut up your pork belly and green onions as the time to cook is short. You also need to place your sesame seeds on a pan lined with parchment paper and brown the seeds in the oven. Toasting the sesame seeds adds another depth to the sesame flavor and is simple to do.
Cook Pork Belly with Sauce
Put the pork belly cubes in a non-stick pan and brown them. You do not need to add any oil as the pork belly has adequate fat. Remember, browning pork does nothing but add depth to your flavor. Remove the pork and set aside.
Now, add in all the other ingredients except some of the sliced green onions and cook up the sauce. Then, we will add the pork belly back into the sauce and cook for a short time. Meanwhile, get your noodles or rice ready to be plated.
