Deep-Fried Pork Belly

Ingredients

• 1 lb Pork belly (Cut into thick cubes)
• 2 tbsp Light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Sugar
• 0.333 cup Cornstarch
• Neutral oil (For deep-frying; amount unspecified)
• Flaky salt (For garnish, optional; amount unspecified)

Steps

1. 1

   Place the pork belly, cut into thick cubes, in a bowl. Add the light soy sauce and sugar, and mix well to season all the pieces.

2. 2

   Sprinkle the cornstarch over the pork belly and mix again until each piece is thoroughly coated.

3. 3

   Heat the neutral oil in a pot to 350 °F (175 °C). Add the pork belly cubes and fry until the exterior is a deep caramel color; remove them from the oil. Keep the oil temperature steady to prevent the pork from becoming greasy.

4. 4

   Place the fried pork belly in a bowl. If desired, sprinkle with flaky salt for garnish.

5. 5

   Let the pieces rest on a wire rack so the crisp coating can set before serving.

Notes

The transcript mentions 375 °F, but the structured recipe data indicates 350 °F; the structured data was followed. For a gluten-free version, the page suggests substituting tamari or coconut aminos for the soy sauce and checking the cornstarch. The page also mentions an air-fryer alternative, but it is not part of these instructions.
