Sublime combination of Sweet Soy & Ginger Sauce paired perfectly with apples and roast pork with crunchy crackling. Don't wait for a special occasion to make this roast pork belly recipe!
Pre-heat oven to 260°C. Place pork on a wire rack in the sink and pour boiling water oven skin
Dry pork thoroughly with paper towels. (It is important to dry pork thoroughly; otherwise the skin will not crisp.)
Season each side with pepper. Combine chilli flakes with enough salt to rub all over pork skin. (Rub salt mixture in well, making sure the salt gets into all the cuts.)
Place pork belly on a wire rack in a shallow roasting pan and roast for 30 minutes. Reduce oven temperature to 180°C and roast for a further 20 minutes, or until pork juices run clear when pork is pierced with a skewer and the skin is crisp
Meanwhile, to make the sauce, combine the Kikkoman Sweet Soy Sauce, rice vinegar, star anise, five spice powder and ginger in a small saucepan. Bring to boil and gently simmer for about 10 minutes until sauce thickens slightly. Serve at room temperature with the pork
For the Apples: Place apples in a roasting pan. Spray with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place apples in oven with pork during the last hour of cooking
Remove pork from oven and allow to rest for 15 minutes before slicing
Serve with the roasted apples, and your favourite green salad if desired. Serve sauce separately
Tips & Hints:
Get your butcher to score the pork skin for you. To make absolutely sure the pork is dry after pouring on the boiling water, dry with a hair dryer.
Variation: substitute Kikkoman Sweet Chilli, Ginger & Soy Marinade & Sauce for the Sweet Soy Sauce if desired.
