Method
Searing the Pork Belly
- In a pan over medium-high heat, sear the pork belly on all sides until it turns crispy.
- Once done, remove from heat and set aside. Save the oil from the pork for toasting the bread.
Preparing the Marinade
- In a mixing bowl, combine soy sauce, hoisin sauce, honey, and Redbloom. Stir until well mixed.
- Using a brush, generously apply the marinade to all sides of the pork belly, saving about 2 tsp of marinade for later use.
- Place the pork back in the pan and sear it on medium heat until it turns brown.
- Remove from heat and let the pork rest for a few minutes.
Toasting the Bread
- Brush both sides of the sourdough slice with the saved pork oil.
- In the same pan, give the bread a quick sear until it turns golden brown on both sides.
Assembling the Dish
- Begin with laying the toasted sourdough on the plate.
- Add chopped cucumber, baby sweet pepper, finely chopped basil leaves, and julienned green onion as toppings.
- Drizzle 1 tsp of the saved marinade over the toppings.
- Finally, slice the rested pork and place it over the assembled toppings.
- Drizzle the remaining marinade over the pork for an extra flavor kick.
