Caramelized Pork Belly
1 Pork Belly, ribs removed
Ingredients
Master stock
5 litres water
500ml dark soy
500ml light soy
350ml shoaxing cooking wine
175g yellow rock sugar
6 cloves of garlic
5cm ginger
Spring onion trim
Dried mandarin peel
Cinnamon bark
Star Anise

Preheat the oven to 150°C
Dry the pork belly with kitchen paper and place in a baking dish large enough to submerge it Bring all of the master stock ingredients to the boil in a large pot. Gently simmer for 20minutes.
Pour the hot stock over the pork belly and weight it down with a cooling rack, so that it is completely covered.
Wrap tightly with a double layer of foil and place in the oven Cook until the belly is starting to fall apart, you should be able to press a hole in the skin (this may take up to 3 hours). Gently remove the belly from the stock and refrigerate, pressed between two weighted trays overnight.

Palm sugar caramel
Ingredients
1kg dark palm sugar
Fish sauce
Method
Place the chopped palm sugar in a pot with a little water Heat gently until the sugar is dissolved. Increase the heat to high and boil until the sugar changes to a rich dark brown colour.
Stop the cooking process by adding palm sugar and keep the caramel warm until the pork is ready.
Remove all the master stock jelly left on the pork belly and cut into large chunks. Deep–fry in hot oil until golden brown, place in the caramel and very gently heat for at least ten minutes while preparing the salad.
