Sliced Pork with Garlic Sauce (蒜泥白肉)

ingredients:

• 2 pork belly slices
• 3 ginger slices
• 2 green onions 
• 1 tbsp Shaoxing cooking wine
• 1 tbsp Sichuan peppercorn
• 1/2 tbsp salt
• 1/2 cucumber (optional)

Garlic sauce:

• 3 tbsp hot oil
• 6-8 garlic cloves, finely grated
• 1 green onion, chopped
• 1 tbsp light soy sauce
• 1 tbsp chilli oil
• 1 tbsp warm water
• 1 tbsp Chinese black vinegar
• 1/2 tbsp Sichuan peppercorn oil
• 1 tsp sugar

steps:

1. Diagonally slice the bottom of the pork belly (this prevents it from curling when boiling).
2. In a pot of cold water, add pork belly, ginger, green onions, Shaoxing cooking wine and Sichuan peppercorns. 
3. Bring water to a boil, then reduce to low heat. Boil the pork belly for 25 mins (or until fully cooked, depending on thickness of pork cut). Poke the meat with a chopstick/fork, if no blood flows out then the pork is cooked.
4. Drain the pork belly and cool in ice water. 
5. In a heat proof bowl, add finely grated garlic and chopped green onions. Pour hot oil over it. Then combine the remaining sauce ingredients. 
6. Thinly slice the pork and place onto a serving dish. Drizzle the sauce and serve!
