Ingredients




1/2 kilogram pork belly, best with skin on
1/4 cup  +2 tbs sweet, thick caramel soy sauce
3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 tablespoons water
1/2 tablespoon light soy sauce, optional

Preparation

1 Clean pork belly and cut into strips and then slightly larger than bite-sized pieces as the meat will shrink during cooking. 2 Place all ingredients into slow cooker, toss well to coat the meat evenly. 3 Cook on high for about an hour or until it starts to boil, then reduce setting to low and cook for another 2 hours or longer if you prefer the meat to be softer. Or just leave it on the low setting for 4 - 5 hours. 4 Serve over cooked white rice with sambal belacan.

About


Sorry folks, no healthy options for this recipe, it's the fat that makes it rich and flavorful....indulge a little. I don't usually add the light soy sauce, but my mum always complains everything I cook is not salty enough ... and you wonder why she has hypertension.
Don't worry about the lack of liquid initially... you'll get plenty from the juices from the meat.
