Ingredients
  • 3 kg pork belly, rind off
  • Salt and pepper
  • 3 cm knob of ginger, roughly chopped
  • 5 cloves garlic, roughly chopped
  • 1 onion, roughly chopped
  • 330 ml apple cider – alcoholic or non-alcoholic
  • 10-12 spring onions/scallions, cut to size*
    • Sauce
  • 125 ml soy sauce
  • 3 tbsp sriracha
  • 90 g brown sugar
  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • 2 tsp lime zest
  • Juice of whole orange
  • Splash of oil
  • Sesame seeds to garnish
Instructions
  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 165°C/325°F. Season pork belly with salt and pepper.

  2. 2

    Place oven bag in large baking dish. Lay chopped ginger, garlic and onion in the bag and place pork on top. Pour cider into bag. If necessary, add a little water to bring the level of fluid in the bottom of the bag up to 1cm and seal. Pierce a couple of holes in the top of bag and cover tightly with foil. Bake approximately 3 hours until the pork is very tender but not falling apart. Pork can be enjoyed as it is at this point or carry on for skewer version…

  3. 3

    For the pork skewers, allow pork to cool in fridge overnight, before using a sharp knife to cut into desired size pieces – approximately 3cm/1in.

  4. 4

    For sauce, whisk together all ingredients and cover until needed.

  5. 5

    To assemble, place 2 pieces of pork on skewer with spring onion in between. Dip skewers into sauce and grill each side while basting with sauce until hot through and glazed – approximately 10 minutes.

Note

*Cut the firmer portion of the spring onions into sticks approximately 3cm/1” long, to match the pork pieces.

Suitable to freeze the pork after first cook.
Soak skewers in water for 30 minutes before using to prevent them burning on the grill.
