This signature Hakka dish goes very well with white rice as it has a lot of gravy that goes along with it. The mustard green also helps to give it an additional texture and flavour to give the dish a more balanced taste and richness.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Nevetheless, this recipe isn&#8217;t an easy one to attempt. I tried my best to follow exactly what I was supposed to do, but somehow, the outlook isn&#8217;t as pleasing as I&#8217;ve wished for it to be as it&#8217;s not very evenly browned or braised and not as soft as I&#8217;d love for it to be. The taste is there though &#8211; sweet, salty and a little spiced. Will try to improve on this attempt the next time I come back to this recipe, though I must say, it&#8217;s not a dish to be had on a regular basis due to its fatty content!<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Ingredients<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pork belly: 800g<\/li>\n<li>Dark soy sauce: 2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Oil: 2 tbsp + 3 tbsp + 2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Preserved mustard green: 300g, soaked in water for 1hr, rinsed dry, cut into strips<\/li>\n<li>Ginger: 5 slices<\/li>\n<li>Garlic: 5 cloves, minced<\/li>\n<li>Light soy sauce: 2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Oyster sauce: 2 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Shaoxing wine: 1 tbsp<\/li>\n<li>Water: 500ml<\/li>\n<li>Star anise: 1<\/li>\n<li>Rock sugar: 20g<\/li>\n<li>Cornflour mixture: 2 tbsp cornflour + 2 tbsp water<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><em><strong>Method<\/strong><\/em>:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Blanch pork belly in boiling water for 5min to get rid of porky taste.
