Pork Belly Bao
A steamed bun filled with tender pork belly, pickled vegetables, hoisin sauce, and fresh herbs.
Instructions
- In a large pot, combine soy sauce, rice wine, brown sugar, garlic, ginger, and star anise. Bring to a simmer over medium heat.
- Add the pork belly to the pot. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 1.5 to 2 hours until the pork is tender and easily pierced with a fork.
- Remove the pork from the pot and let it rest until cool enough to handle. Slice the pork belly into 1/4-inch (0.6cm) thick pieces.
- While the pork is cooling, steam the bao buns according to package instructions, usually about 5-10 minutes in a steamer basket over boiling water until soft and warm.
- To assemble, open each bao bun and spread about 2 teaspoons (10ml) of hoisin sauce inside.
- Place a slice or two of pork belly inside each bun, followed by a few pieces of pickled vegetables.
- Garnish with fresh cilantro leaves before serving.
